“Idea of the generations continuing is really important. And that's interesting to me. I write about families; I'm interested in families. Even though I think a family can be just two people or two people and a dog, I really wanted children for that reason.” PeopleThinkingWritingChildrenTwoImportantIdeasReasonWantedInterestingGenerationsDogContinuingAbout Family Author:Jennifer Gilmore
“I think we think that parenthood is confined to the country of mothers, but I think a lot of the men I've spoken to and the men who have read my books - I've been surprised by this actually - have a fierce attachment to being parents and to being fathers. And just as we, a lot of women I know, want this, men too want to pass down what they have to pass down.” ThinkingKnowsMenWantBookCountryMotherFatherParentHe ManAttachmentParenthoodFierceConfinedBeing A ParentBeing A Father Author:Jennifer Gilmore

“I like happy sets. Happy sets are good, and I think people feel comfortable on them. When fear arrives in any context it's just boring and it closes people down. If people feel inadequate or if they feel bullied... It might work for some people but I think, as a rule, it just takes any joy out of the creative process.” PeopleIfsThinkingFeelsMightJoyProcessCreativeComfortableBoringCreative ProcessInadequateBullied Author:David Yates
“I’ve never treated anyone badly or in a discriminatory way based on their gender, race, religion or sexuality - period. I don’t blame some people for thinking that though, from the garbage they heard on those leaked tapes, which have been edited. You have to put it all in the proper context of being in an irrationally, heated discussion at the height of a breakdown, trying to get out of a really unhealthy relationship. It’s one terribly, awful moment in time, said to one person, in the span of one day and doesn’t represent what I truly believe or how I’ve treated people my entire life.” PeopleThinkingWayTryingBelievePersonsHas BeensSaidMomentsRaceHeardPeriodsOne DayBlameGenderSexualityTreatedAwfulDiscussionHeightTapeGarbageBreakdownUnhealthyMoments In TimeEditedUnhealthy Relationships Author:Mel Gibson

“The whole notion of politics is they always present you with this or this or this. I’ll get a newspaper to read between the lines. Why do you have to adhere to prescribed formulas that they have and people argue over them and they’re all in a box. And you watch Fox claw CNN, and CNN claw Fox. Sometimes I catch a piece of the news and it seems insanity to me. I quietly support candidates. I’m not out there banging a drum for candidates.
