My parents divorced when I was young but I was brought up in two really loving households. I didn't have a contentious relationship with my mom or dad.
My mom and dad - they were always there. They were always on the set. They focused on our family life. The entertainment business wasn't the end-all. They weren't out to get the next big paycheck or the next big movie. It was about 'What can we do as a family.'
I wouldn't say I had a hard childhood because my mom always made sure we was Gucci, you know what I mean. Growing up, she made sure we ain't have to want for nothing. She did what she had to do; she made her money, and we was always good.
My childhood was safe and sane. No abuse and no traumas. I was surrounded by a large and loving family who taught me the importance of hard work and a meaningful education.
I sailed through my childhood with a complete lack of any drama.
My parents have been married 50-some years, and I've never heard them fight. I got the chance to attend great universities and medical school.
I'm incredibly boring; I had a very happy childhood. I never starved, nor did I have a silver spoon in my mouth. I'm one of those terribly middle-of-the-road, British middle class, South London gents.
Cultures need stable families to raise stable children.
I always had a strong support system. My parents always supported the stuff that I did.
My parents are a big help, and they're always making sure I have a normal life and my life isn't all just about acting and stuff.
The life of a WWE superstar is awesome, but I want my kids to have a life balanced by more traditional ideas about what our life and our country used to be. And still can be if we want it to be.
I've always been a happy-go-lucky person. I haven't got any dark tales, I didn't draw on my own past, I'm from a very normal stable background and had an amazing childhood, and I haven't got any complaints really.
When children do not have three square meals a day, a proper education, and at least one adult who they know loves and is committed to them, it's very unlikely they will grow up to be productive citizens of the world.
My mother and father are still together after forty something years. I lived in one place till I was 6. I lived in another place from when I was 6 till I was 17.
I had a very special family life. My mother and father made sure when we were home, we were part of the family, not a TV star. And the other thing: my father was fully employed while I was doing the series.
[I had ] uneventful, though isolated childhood. Good, kind, stable parents.
I had great schooling, and my parents were always in front of me, or next to me, or behind me, making sure I had whatever I needed.
My siblings and I had a loving but very chaotic and muddled childhood, and as a result we have sought out lives that are consistent and stable, domestic and happy.
I'm thankful I don't have parents that I feel I need to get their attention. They've always been there for me.
We had a brilliant upbringing, and we never wanted for anything, even though we went through highs and lows of finances.
Very good training to just be a person is growing up in Canada. People say a lot of things about Canada, like that it's boring, but if you look around the world, you can praise boring. It's a very civilized place to grow up. I'm very proud of it.
My mom's a lawyer. She was part of the group that wrote the bar exam. My father is a dentist. They've always worked.
The richest inheritance any child can have is a stable, loving, disciplined family life.
My parents are very even-keeled. You know, just kind of steady as she goes.
My mother was very good about giving us a life that was, let's say, as normal as it could be, not a crazy jetting life at all. That's been helpful. It's given me the drive to be someone in the world rather than just sitting around.
