Americans, indeed, often seem to be so overwhelmed by their children that they'll do anything for them except stay married to the co-producer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
American husbands are the best in the world; no other husbands are so generous to their wives, or can be so easily divorced.
I have a sense that many Americans, especially those like me with European or foreign parents, feel they have to invent their families just as they have to invent themselves.
People shouldn't stay married because of the kids. That's torture for everyone.
This is fundamentally true of the media business, the rigmarole you go through while trying to make 25 movies while not seeing your kids.
People are always saying that Hollywood messes up kids. I'm like, 'No, families mess up kids!' I grew up in Hollywood, and I'm perfectly fine. If my children want to go into the entertainment business, I won't stop them, as long as they're passionate about it.
It's one of the great tragedies of our contemporary life in America, that families fall apart. Almost everybody has that in common.
Most American children suffer too much mother and too little father.
The kids don't really have any part of my television life. Fortunately, there aren't many times when show business intrudes on our family existence.
The very success of the modern American family - where kids get punctually to SAT-tutoring classes, the mortgage gets paid, the second-story remodel stays on budget - surely depends on spouses' not being in love.
It's very important that we instill some respect for the parents. In America especially, the kids are unruly, screaming at Mommy and Daddy, running the show.
