children generally naughty parents
Parents always think it's the kids' fault. If they're naughty, it's the kids' fault. Not true! Children generally are not naughty for no reason.
children thinking animal
I think people say you shouldn't work with children or animals, but you must only work with children.
mom children kids
The films I've made for children have been my hardest work, my best, because kids deserve the best.
country children people
It's not funny at all that we do all that advertising for children. Why is advertising for children allowed? What possible reason can there be for having those effing adverts on TV for all this crap that's made by poor people in poor countries that we sell our children who have too much?
christian children greek
Children are much more understanding of the suddenness and arbitrariness of death than we are. The old fairy tales contain a lot of that, and we've stolen from them, just as they stole from Greek myth, which has that same mixture of pre-Christian chaos.
children animal thinking
There is that thing about not working with animals and children - I don't think that's true. Although you should never work with donkeys.
children technology watches
Children are the most wonderful audiences. What's struck me most is that that they watch it so silently, until the end when they shriek and shout and clap.
children advice ears
Children don't need much advice but they really do need to be listened to and not just with half an ear.
children terrible
I think it would be terrible if what children come away (with) from this movie was that you've always got to behave. No! Not so!
kids time work
I would say to people, for heaven's sake, if you're going to have kids you've got to put the work and the time into it.
certainly charities developing english-actress huge took trouble
I think if you took charities and NGOs out of the mix, certainly in developing countries, you would find that there would be huge trouble immediately.
guarantees-that giving support
When you buy Fairtrade products you can guarantee that the farmers who have worked hard to grow them get a minimum price. Fairtrade is a way of giving regular support - and enjoying delicious high quality foods at the same time.
quality impatience worst
My worst quality is impatience.
opposite reached
Having reached 40 this year, if they were going to find someone to play opposite me they'd have to exhume him.
