“Why should I marry? One marries to have children, but I already have children! My nieces and nephews are my children.”

I am more convinced than ever that mindsets toward learning could matter more than anything else we teach.

The only person I have hurt is myself.

If I ever have a child. Insh’allah I will. I wish it’s a girl. I want a girl child.

Sometimes I feel I hope I am not taking advantage of my stardom.

If I ever have a child. Insh’allah I will. I wish it’s a girl. I want a girl child.

All fashion brands are about looking good. Being Human is also about doing good. And you can do good by the simple act of slipping into a t-shirt or a pair of jeans.

I’m not possessive, I’m caring. Once you realize a person doesn’t want that much care, you automatically back off.

Before Kady was born, I didn’t think having a kid would be such a big deal. My attitude was simple: Babies are nice, play with them, put them in the closet until the next time.

Surfing music is dead. It was just a summer craze for kids on the beach. I’m finished with it.

Wait for those unguarded moments. Relax the mood and, like the child dropping off to sleep, the subject often reveals his truest self.

A child’s spirit is like a child, you can never catch it by running after it; you must stand still, and, for love, it will soon itself come back.

The good thing about being an actress is that it’s very children-friendly. I can work for three months and then I can have six months off. And then I can work for six months and have six months off.

Everybody wants to be somebody. The thing you have to do is give them confidence they can. You have to give a kid a dream.

There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.

The mother’s heart is the child’s schoolroom.
