caught kids money
In L.A., it's easy to get caught up in what you look like or how much money you have, and those aren't values I want my kids to adopt.
kids thinking views
Because I don't think it's very healthy to hold people to idealized views. I think that's a certain stage in life, something kids do. You have to go through that idealistic phase with your parents, but at a certain point, you need to see people as just people.
kids passion feelings
I want my kids to experience passion. I want them to see that I have things I feel passionate about because it is such a great feeling to really love something.
children athlete kids
Don't live vicariously through your kids or try to shape them into who you wanted to be, like the popular kid or an athlete. Children should be given the opportunity to be themselves.
kids looks want
In L.A., it's easy to get caught up in what you look like or how much money you have, and those aren't values I want my kids to adopt.
kids boys emotional
I take parenting incredibly seriously. I want to be there for my kids and help them navigate the world, and develop skills, emotional intelligence, to enjoy life, and I'm lucky to be able to do that and have two healthy, normal boys.
meaningful kids hard-work
A relationship is hard in and of itself. And having kids is really hard work, but I think it's really meaningful, as is a relationship. But they all take work.
sports kids thinking
Can they do both? That's a huge balance, I think, with kids- trying to find the right- it's everything, you know, it's social life, it's academics, it's sports.
children character kids
As a parent, you have to figure out how to shape your kid's character. You want to have human beings who learn about good character. You have to be able to see your child with clarity, see the good side and the bad side of them, and work on the bad side and make them better so they fulfill their potential.
catherine director early fun keener late thirties
Well, we're all actresses. We've got that going. We're all gals in our late thirties and early forties, and Frances McDormand and Catherine Keener have kids, and the director has kids, so we all have that, you know, and then everyone's kind of their own kind of person. It was fun for me to be around other actresses that were interesting, because I don't get that.
dad decision funny hard humor influenced irish life man sure taught wit
My dad was a very funny man - he's the one who taught me life would be awfully hard without humor! I'm sure his Irish wit in some way influenced my decision to become an actress.
life money symbol
It's not really about money. It's about being centered. Money is kind of a symbol of how you are in your life and how you're going to be centered.
blow dealt few opened roles roll terrible
It was a terrible blow that was dealt when I was fired from 'Saturday Night Live', but I have to say that a few doors opened right away. Movie roles started to roll in, and pretty soon, I was over it.
amount avoiding change enjoyable family films life men outside reasonable stay
I think us gals need to stay in and just change the way it works, so men aren't being workaholics and avoiding life and relationships, and they can make films in a reasonable amount of time, so you can have a family and a life outside of work. And have more balanced, content-driven, enjoyable movies.
