Well of course, when you have kids, you become more protective and you think about how to give them the healthiest upbringing and the best future.
I like that there’s no love as fierce as the love you feel for your family; that there’s no one you feel more protective of than the very same people who can drive you crazy.
There is definitely a sense that when you, as a CIA ops officer… are handling assets, they are delivering to you their trust and their well-being. And you feel very protective of them, even if they’re not very nice people.
Every dollar of tax imposed on our exchanges in the shape of duties impairs, to that extent, our capacity to meet the severe competition to which we are exposed; and nothing but a system of high protective duties, long continued, can prevent us from meeting it successfully. It is that which we have to fear.
When you want a break from dogs, and you take them to the kennel to the stars, no one thinks you’re a bad pet owner. But when you have kids, you can’t drop them off for three weeks without someone calling Child Protective Services!
I didn’t react well toward paparazzi. I just was really protective of myself and constantly hiding myself.
I think when you are an only child, parents are more protective and fearful because they’ve only got one of you. I was not allowed to do a lot of things that, if I’d been, say, number three, I would have.
Nudity is who people are at the most interesting point of the evening, when they take off their protective layer, when no one is watching.
