It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire.

One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes.

Happiness is not a goal, it is a by-product.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face.

Meanwhile I married and I adopted three kids who were all from one family and then later I was divorced.

I grew up in Hollywood during WWII, and my mother was afraid that my father was going to be drafted because she didn't think we were going to be able to live on army pay. She didn't want to have to get a job, so she decided to put me to work, and that's how I got started in the movies.

Work ethic has always been stressed in my family. My dad is going to be 80 years old and he still works part time. My mom just retired a couple years ago and she's in her mid- to late 70s.

As a parent, the most responsible thing I can do is get as much information about my children as possible so I can then think through how I can make them as healthy as possible.
