Text Quotes
My parents were mourning the death of my sister. She was killed in a car accident before I was born, and I didn’t know she existed until I was 13 or 14 years old. I knew I was growing up in a house where people were angry and sad (Parents Growing Older Quotes)
The announcement that I was going to be an actor was made when was I was 10 years old. And that didn’t go down all that well, but I had a lot of years to butter up my parents.

It’s like the old thing: The parents stay together for the kids, but the kids know that you don’t want to be together. The kids would rather you be happy - and separate - than together and miserable. I don’t want my kid to grow up around two parents who just don’t work. (Parents Growing Older Quotes)
My parents divorced when I was 3 years old. They had a lounge act in Las Vegas, where I was born. The band broke up and the marriage dissolved, and my mother, my sister and I moved to Southern California. And I didn’t see my dad a lot growing up; he was on the road a lot. I’d see him every couple years. (Parents Growing Older Quotes)
Parents, however old they and we may grow to be, serve among other things to shield us from a sense of our doom. As long as they are around, we can avoid the fact of our mortality; we can still be innocent children (Parents Growing Older Quotes)
My one complaint with my father as a parent is that, not only was he not a golfer, but also he was sort of opposed to golf. I was a country club kid growing up. I should have played golf, but my father thought golf was a sport for old men (Parents Growing Older Quotes)
