People are always surprised when they spend time with my children by how normal they are. They're polite. They're well mannered. They're very down to earth, in a way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My children are delightful people, whom I would love even if they weren't my children.
My kids are really easy. I often worry that they're too easy to deal with. They're really nice people.
The highest compliment I could ever receive about my kids - and I can say that this does happen frequently - is when the in-flight crew say to me, 'Your children are wonderful. They are so well-behaved.' Every time I am told that, I could weep.
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.
Sometimes when you have children they're the opposites of you.
Respect your kids. They are their own people. I think sometimes we expect kids to be perfect when we're not perfect.
My children did not go through a stage of being rude to their parents. I'm sorry if that sounds incredible.
I really enjoy the company of my kids... I'm not one of those people who goes 'Yeah, my kids are my mates', that's a dreadful kind of mother, but I'm fortunate that there are times that they do want me around, and I feel lucky that they let me into their world.
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.
I don't particularly like children. That sounds awful, but I have nothing to say to them.
