I do like children, but only as people. Not as if they're a special category.

When people ask, Do you like children? I always say, I like some children, yes. Some children I don't like.

Parents like the idea of kids, they just don't like their kids.

I don't particularly like children. That sounds awful, but I have nothing to say to them.

I love children. I've always loved children.

I think that when you have kids, it's all about them.

Many children's writers don't have children of their own.

Although I do not have a family, I have eyes, ears and imagination, and know, as most people know, that the importance of one's children is paramount.

As I get older and I see all my friends starting to have children, I see them have different reactions to the material that was probably not of great interest to them when they were younger, because they're re-experiencing it through their kids.
