The family is the foundation of everything.|Robinho

We don’t have the luxury of time. We spend more because of how we live    but it’s important to be with our family and friends.|Sara Blakely

I really didn’t feel challenged anymore.

I asked the producers when I was doing ‘Y Tu Mama Tambien’ if they could give me a VHS recording of the film that I could show to my family           because in Mexico and Latin America     when you do a film        you don’t expect anybody to see it            especially not in the cinema.|Gael Garcia Bernal

The Bible is the great family chronicle of the Jews.|Heinrich Heine

One person may need (or want) more leisure      another more work; one more adventure another more security and so on.

With ‘The Humans   ‘ I’ve found that because it’s related to very familiar forms – the family play and the thriller      almost a genre-collison play – some people want it to be one or the other.

I have to make it my job to be careful with my family.|Liam Neeson
