I think there are huge lessons there, for young people who are getting started in life, as well as other people. And that is, to take responsibility for your own life. Only you are responsible for the course you take from there.

Being a grownup means assuming responsibility for yourself, for your children, and - here's the big curve - for your parents.

I know that in my past I was young and irresponsible - but that's what growing up is. You learn from your mistakes.

It is important for children to grow up in a world where there are all kinds of adults and role models around them, for them to know it's not just parents and people who are parents that care about them, but that there are people who are living other kinds of lives.

I'm one of those people where, the more responsibility I have, the better I become. The more I rise up to it. The less responsibility I have, the more I can easily devolve.

Growth makes so many dimensions of management easier. It's when growth stops that things get tough.

I think you grow up every year, every day. You learn something new and try to really worry about what's important in life.

Thousands of years of human history have shown that the ideal setting for children to grow up is with a mother and a father committed to one another, living together, and sharing the responsibility of raising their children.

I believe that children have to grow up as all-round personalities, but it cannot be at the cost of academics.

When you're younger, you're trying to understand and make sense of what your parents are trying to instill in you, which is ultimately life experience. I remember being 17 and my dad trying to teach me the importance of responsibility.
