I wish the media and people that work in media would realize sometimes - and I know it doesn't pay your bills - but sometimes just sit back and think, like, 'Man, what if this was my child? And somebody was doing this to them? And they had to go through it? If somebody bashed them like this?'

We live in a time where the media is a very difficult thing to navigate because it's everywhere, and I tend to want to be a lot more private with my life.

I try to give the media as many confusing images as I can to retain my freedom. What's real is for my children and the people I live with.

I'm concerned about the insidious influence of the media's bad messages that undermine the lessons parents try to instill in their sons and daughters.

It's a big shame that when you have a platform to write about Save the Children, the media interest lies with my moral alignment.

It is now such a complex society in terms of media. It just comes at us from every direction. You kind of have to push it all away.

I grew up in a poverty-stricken neighborhood, but I didn't really know I was a deprived, poverty-stricken child until the media made me aware of it.

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.

Is letting our children watch TV a form of child abuse? If our children grow up knowing everything about Britney Spears and nothing about nature or faith, about anything, is that not a form of child abuse?
