One circumstance that helped our character development: we were needed. I often think today of what an impact could be made if children believed they were contributing to a family's essential survival and happiness.

The future destiny of a child is always the work of the mother.

Children have the right to grow up in a family with a father and mother capable of creating a suitable environment for the child's development and emotional maturity. Today marriage and the family are in crisis. We now live in a culture of the temporary, in which more and more people are simply giving up on marriage as a public commitment.

My mom's one of 13 siblings, and they all got six kids, and till I was 13 everybody was in Compton.

I never had, like, a nanny that took care of me. My mom always fed me breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
