My fantasy for children's television is that it's not really children's television, it's everybody's television.

All human beings have a right to life. Our unborn children are members of the human race. They're human beings, so they have a right to life.

My parents were both born in 1930. They grew up during the Depression. They wanted their children to have secure lives, to have a good salary and a pension plan. If I could've guaranteed that I'd be a best-selling writer, that would've been one thing, but nobody could say that. So I knew better than to say that was ambition.

When you are surrounded by children, the child in you comes back.

An extended school day gives administrators the ability to ensure children get a well-rounded education.

I used to be very into fitness and would happily pose for photos in my bikini. Now I look at those and think, 'Where did that body go?' But that was before children.

The most interesting information comes from children, for they tell all they know and then stop.

If we want to close the achievement gap, build a well-educated workforce and responsible citizenry, we must start with our youngest children.

In India, women are still the primary caregivers. Whether it be for children, whether it be for old people or sick people, you are the primary caregiver. No matter what position you are in.

My parents were just searching for an alternative way of raising their children.

I've found it easier to write, to coalesce my thoughts, since having children. It brings you back to what you experienced yourself as a child, and you empathize with what your parents went through.

We need to shift from an economic organizing principle for human civilization, to a humanitarian organizing principle. Making money more important than your own children is a pathological way for an individual to run their affairs, and it's a pathological way for a society to run its affairs.

In those of us who have the mysterious ability to amuse others, it is usually the case that even before we were aware of our own abilities, we had become practiced at laughing more than other children in our social circle.

It was always my practice to train salespeople under my direct supervision, and to treat children with the utmost consideration.

My motivation is my desire to help people. If people want to have children and cannot in the normal way, and I can do something about it, then I will do so.

If kids have the oportunity to come together to get to know one another, they can judge for themselves who they want their friends to be. All children should have that choice. We, as adults, shouldn't make those choices for children. That's how racism starts.

'Looney Tunes' was not a children's cartoon. I don't care what anybody says. It was very politically charged, very racial. And then they tried to soften it up for kids later. But it was for the adults.

The results indicate that heterogeneity of race and heterogeneity of family educational background can increase the achievement of children from weak educational backgrounds with no adverse effect on children from strong educational backgrounds.

I consider the fact that thousands of children die each day from starvation and a lack of medicine a crisis for humanity and a problem we must collectively attempt to solve.

Seeing the show is like a visit to the fountain of youth for parents and the children.
