I'm really focused on my research almost 100 percent. That, and my family and kids.
I have to work hard for my family. They don't have a lot.
My mother wanted me to be a professor, because I have several people in my family who are professors at university.
The best thing I ever did was give my family everything I could.
The few people who ask to have their photographs with me, I almost always say yes, except for a few circumstances, like when my family is around.
My working life has always been wrapped up in doing my job to the best of my abilities and doing the best for my family. It is not a contest between the two.
I love my house. I love my family. I love my animals.
I was the first one in my family to go to college.
You have to decide what's important to you and work it out. When I'm with my family, I try to concentrate on my family and when I'm at work, I try to concentrate on my work.
We [in my family] don't like to mess around and talk about our problems or complain, it's just not anything that we do.
My family gets incredibly tense and stressed out around traveling. There's something really beautiful in that vulnerability.
My family is my life, and I'll never lose that.
In my family, misery didn't just love company, it wanted hostages.

My family vacations were softball tournaments.
My family always makes a huge deal out of Christmas.
My family went through divorces and remarriages and the later, blended home - and then watched that home explode, too.
Remember that day you said you loved me? Remember that? See, you could do that because you're basically a sane person, who grew up in a loving, sane family. You could take a risk like that. But in my family we didn't go around saying we loved each other. We went around screaming at each other. So what do I do, when you say you love me? I go and undermine it.
In my family, we were not involved in politics at all.
My favorite activity is to be with my family.
I love living in Michigan, which has been great for my kids and my family.

Honestly, my number-one motivation is my family.
