My kids have got to work themselves around my life, not the other way. That's how kids become brats, if you're there staring at them all the time going, 'Are you alright?'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I tell people all the time, 'As long as my kids are doing good, I'm gonna be alright.'
I think the best thing that you can do with your kids is to talk to them like they're human beings, not like they're children and they don't know what they're doing.
There's no secret to working with kids. They either charm you and you can work with them, or they don't charm you and you feel you're stuck with them.
Sometimes kids used to give me a hard time. But they're on my side.
When I'm not working, my time is really about my children.
When you work with kids, people tell you to be very delicate, but that's the last thing you should do with kids. They feel patronized if you're like that. They just want you to be normal.
When little kids come up to me, I'm a fully-grown adult, and that's always weird to me.
I love working with kids, talking with them and listening to them. I always encourage kids to reach beyond their dreams. Don't try to be like me. Be better than me.
I've worked with kids that are just horrendous, and it's mostly because of their parents.
I think my kids give mommy more attention than they give me.
