Clare Balding Quotes

My mother is brilliant; she's the best person in the world and keeps me grounded.

Because I see my mum and dad as such amazing friends, I think I'll be a really good dad.

I've seen fathers criticizing their sons the moment a game's over. Not my dad. It doesn't matter if I threw an interception or a Hail Mary, he always says, 'Good job, son, I'm proud of you.' Then he shakes my hand and gives me a hug. Every time.

My mom was a terrible parent of young children. And thank God - I thank God every time I think of it - I was sent to my paternal grandmother. Ah, but my mother was a great parent of a young adult.

My mom and dad just loved the fact that I fooled around. They just embraced it. They'd always kind of enjoy it, and they liked it when I made them laugh.

My parents, man, they're just the most loving, encouraging... They're like those people who define themselves through their role as parents before people in their own rights.

My Dad was my biggest supporter. He never put pressure on me.

My dad was good with actions.

I would really like to spend more time with the family. Every time I go abroad I miss them all dreadfully.

I was a momma's boy. I didn't get anything from Dad, except my body and baseball knowledge. The only time I spent with him was at the ballpark.

I need my family to remind me in a loving and nice way to lighten up.

For almost five years on 'Happy Days,' I have had a mom and pop and a brother who give me advice and help me just as my own parents and brothers and sisters do at home.

I have a strong family, and they're not going to baby me, even though I am the baby. They're never gonna do that.

My kids are amazing and they are the ones that keep me going.

I really look up to my parents to guide me. They treat me well, they give me good food to eat.

My family's so awesome. They help me be the person I can be.

Families will always have their trials; be living examples of love, forgiveness, and care

Sometimes when family members least deserve love, they need it the most.

I have two great examples of a father. My dad is honestly my hero and sets the bar high for how a man should treat a woman. My stepmother is a caring, genuine and supportive woman. My mom is a spunky strong woman with a huge heart. And my sister is just a pure angel. There is a lot of love in my family.

My family is so loving and so encouraging. Ever since I was little, it was implanted in my head - and my sister's and my brother's - that we could do anything our heart desired to do, and to not be afraid.

One of the biggest things growing up that my dad taught me is that if I was okay to talk about my feelings and express how I felt and not get angry, then he would listen to me. If I had issues, I would just tell him, 'Here's how I feel, this is what I'm feeling,' either with him or with my mom.

Both of my parents have loved and supported me from my very first strides.

The thing that was most constant when I was growing up was just complete support and adoration from my parents.

In general, in any kind of stepparent relationship, I'm happy that there's somebody else loving my children.

My mom was always pretty supportive. She saw me do plays and she'd always act out the parts I did.
