Pastoral Resources

I got hooked into folk music by accident, because that's what white college kids liked when I was a child.

I feel happy to terrify kids.

I'm not much of a family man. I'm just not that into it. I love kids, I adore them, but I don't want to live my life for them.

Even then, our family was extraordinary, with ten kids.

Before I was a year old I walked and talked and I was even potty trained. When I started going to school I think I got on everyone's nerves because I used to ask adult questions rather than settle for the stuff usually fed to kids.

When I finish playing football, I would like to work with kids and sleep!

And in the future, you know, maybe there's kids in the future for me, I don't really know. The interesting thing with me is that there has never been a woman doing what I'm doing at this level for this long. So, it's like, would Vince give me maternity leave?

Everything we say signifies; everything counts, that we put out into the world. It impacts on kids, it impacts on the zeitgeist of the time.

I have a very busy life, and not many people who have a career and four kids go out a lot to the movies.

I donate money to the existing foundation that funds the US Ski Team kids.

I want kids to have a chance to dream of becoming something like I did in my life, and when you're living in a home that's dysfunctional and unhealthy that way, you don't dream like that.

I just feel energized when I am around young, talented people. There is something about these kids that's amazing. I learn as much from them as they do from me.

The kids really enjoy what they do. I check with them constantly to make sure that they're really happy to be there.

Kids will reach whatever expectation you set for them.

A friend of mine called and said they're interested in having you do a song for the new Pokemon. All my kids are grown up, so I'd heard of it, but I didn't really know what it was.

I want to have a bunch of kids so I can boss them around.

I have kids and I want to have a long life and there are certain things that are conducive to that and certain things that aren't. I've opted for the road of happiness and long life.

The more that Japanese players go to the big leagues to play and succeed, the more that will serve to inspire young kids in Japan to want to become baseball players when they grow up.

I would love to continue in music, with writing... but I am not the kind of person who will hang around if I start to become irrelevant. If that happens, I will bow down gracefully, raise my kids, and have a garden. And I am going to let my hair go gray when I am older. I don't need to be blonde when I'm 60!

Even as kids reach adolescence, they need more than ever for us to watch over them. Adolescence is not about letting go. It's about hanging on during a very bumpy ride.
