My parents instilled in me that life was going to be very difficult and that I'd have to work for everything.

I love my parents. But they have their life, and I have mine.

You may find that your parents are the most delightful people, but you don't want to live with them.

My parents' divorce left me with a lot of sadness and pain and acting, and especially humour, was my way of dealing with all that.

You can't live your life blaming your failures on your parents and what they did or didn't do for you. You're dealt the cards that you're dealt. I realised it was a waste of time to be angry at my parents and feel sorry for myself.

Life is not always easy to live, but the opportunity to do so is a blessing beyond comprehension. In the process of living, we will face struggles, many of which will cause us to suffer and to experience pain.

When you lose a parent, you realize how vital they are to the foundation of your life. It's impossible to understand what it means until that curtain is pulled. You're an orphan. But then I think that life is kind of remarkable, and the thing that causes the biggest pain can also bring amazing energy.

Life is hard. It is. And it's like, I don't want anybody feeling any pain.

My parents' long and happy marriage was a great ideal to live up to, but a tough one.

There is only room in the lifeboat of your life for one, and you always choose yourself, and turn your parents into whatever it takes to keep you afloat.
