“Twenty years ago I wanted to move to a nice place so our Charley would grow up a nice boy and learn a profession. But instead we live in a jungle, so he can only be a wild animal.

“You get tough when you grow up unloved. People described me as a boyish girl - rather shy, but I didn't show it. I had an attitude. I was rather wild. I lied a lot because I knew the alternative was to be punished. As I got older I realised I didn't have to lie any more and it was a nice feeling.

“When I was younger I thought success was something different. I thought, " When I grow up, I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars. I want to have groupies." But my idea of success is different today. For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity and not to give into peer pressure, to try to be something that you're not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person. To contribute in some way.” WorldWayWantGivingTryingPersonsImportantIdeasDifferentMotivationalTodaySuccessLife IsPurposeStarsGrowsGrowing UpNiceHonestCarIntegrityPressureImportant ThingsCompassionatePeersLive Your LifeGiving BackPeer PressureGroupieNice CarsImportant Things In Your Life Author:Ellen DeGeneres
“When you have kids it's nice to have a place where they can always return to and some place where they will grow up in, but I never had that. I'm not attached to things and places. I like that we [the family] keep moving. It's a nomadic life, and I think that's a great life. I'm excited when we take our kids to a new country and they don't just immediately look for the comforts of home. They blend into that country. Send them to any place in the world and they won't be scared. They'll just feel like they can make friends there.” ThinkingWorldFeelsLooksCountryHomeKidsMovingGrowsGrowing UpNiceReturnComfortScaredExcitedKeep MovingPlaces In The WorldNomadicComfort Of Home Author:Angelina Jolie
