It’s such a big dream of mine to be singing in front of my friends and family in my hometown.
I tell women who have gone through cancer that healing from it requires receiving care, receiving support, letting friends and family rally around us. It is time to receive.
There’s nothing I value more than the closeness of friends and family, a smile as I pass someone on the street.
The nicest part of the prize, perhaps, is the effect on my friends and family. Each of them feels proud and happy to have the relationship with me that they do. In a way, it’s as though they received an award too, and I like that very much.
The crew are the faces you see every morning and last at night before you go home. I spend more time with those people than I do with my friends and family, so they’re forever a part of you and who you become as an actor so I hope I see them again.
One thing about virtual church is that you can attend easily from anywhere. I’ve dropped in on my childhood congregation in California and the congregations of various friends and family members.
In my dressing room, you’ll definitely find some Starbursts and Skittles. I have a lot of candles that remind me of home, and a humidifier for my voice. I also have some digital Kodak albums where I have pictures of my friends and family.
When people have hearing loss, I think they often take that burden and pass it on to their friends and family, and we make them scream and yell at us so we can hear! But I think it’s better to take responsibility and wear hearing aids!
When I moved to Atlanta, I felt like an outsider – away from my friends and family except for the LGBTQ community.
I am happy to see that it is not just me, but even my friends and family now believe in green Diwali and we celebrate together eating lots of good food and sweets.
When I do get the chance I just love to hang around at home with friends and family.
I have many friends and family members who have served (or are currently serving) in our nation’s Armed Forces. I have such a profound respect for what they do day in and day out.
My friends and family are my support system. They tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear and they are there for me in the good and bad times. Without them I have no idea where I would be and I know that their love for me is what’s keeping my head above the water.
I make a mean Irish soda bread every Christmas and give it out to friends and family.
I always write things that entertain me, and one of the things that I find really enjoyable to explore is the idea of love. I like looking at my own life and my friends and family and how love changes who you are. It fascinates me.
It’s almost embarrassing how much support I have. I mean, I always tell people I feel like I’m perfectly set up to have cancer. I have great health insurance, I have a savings account. I have work lined up. I have friends and family. I have the best doctors I can get.
Think about what people are doing on Facebook today. They’re keeping up with their friends and family, but they’re also building an image and identity for themselves, which in a sense is their brand. They’re connecting with the audience that they want to connect to. It’s almost a disadvantage if you’re not on it now.
If you want to really know what your friends and family think of you die broke, and then see who shows up for the funeral.
Over the years I’ve learnt to live with two persons in my heart. One is Edson, who has fun with his friends and family; the other is the football player Pele. I didn’t want the name. ‘Pele’ sounds like baby-talk in Portuguese.
I’m pretty good at surprising friends and family with gifts. I tend to go towards the more sentimental side of giving.
I like a girl that takes pride in her appearance – looks are important to me, but it’s also important she gets on with my friends and family. If my parents don’t like a girl, then she’s instantly a no-go.
Having people I love around me – friends and family – is great, but I don’t necessarily need a relationship.
My social life’s moved up a few notches since moving back to London from Surrey because I’m near friends and family again and I’m really enjoying it.
My friends and family in Turkey could be arrested just for talking to me.
When you are a successful footballer, you get put on a pedestal. You are the person your friends and family look up to, and they do not know how to approach you when things are going wrong, even when you just need someone to reach out to you and ask you if you are all right.
I remember Borehamwood, I remember the home crowd, I remember that special moment looking at all of our friends and family in the crowd because I don’t think we could believe we were European champions.
We tour, we do the distance from friends and family, not really knowing how to connect with people on the same level. I’ve understood now, as much as we tour, we live day-to-day, so our lives are much different than the people who stay at home and go home every night.
It wasn’t easy to leave the country. To make the decision to leave everything? I was born and raised with all my friends and family members. It was a huge step in my career. Now you’re committed to basketball.
I like change. I’ve never really had much consistency in my life, you know, from everyday work to my living situation to whether or not I’m going to be in L.A. The one constant thing in my life is my friends and family, which is all I need.
I have a blessed life. I do a job that I really love and I have a really good close-knit network of friends and family.
Financing for ‘Shotgun Stories’ was initiated with money from close friends and family. This is where the money to go into production came from. After production, a company called ‘Upload Films’ came on board and provided post-production funds and services. In both instances, people were taking a gamble on us.
Life hands us a lot of hard choices, and other people can help us more than we might realize. We often think we should make important decisions using just our own internal resources. What are the pros and cons? What does my gut tell me? But often we have friends and family who know us in ways we don’t know ourselves.
Reality television – it’s your life, and you can’t walk away from it. You’re being exposed, and the audience is weighing in on your lives and your relationships with your friends and family.
My mom is real passionate and a family-first woman. She always told me that just because I can shoot a basketball better than someone else, I shouldn’t think that I’m better than them. I know if I change, my friends and family would lay me down. She just wants to see her kids do right.
Some say that Jesus is the rock, or the anchor. I say that your friends and family are your anchor. And you can really hold their hands, not just sing about it. No disrespect to George Jones.
I speak publicly about the things I am speaking privately about, and there is no difference – the things I’m passionate about and dissecting with my friends and family, the things that are valuable to me, are the things that I publicly share and publicly promote.
My public Facebook page is what it is. My Twitter account is sort of what it is, but if I’m totally honest with you, that is not my personal, private self. I have another Facebook page that is devoted to my dear friends and family, and they can keep in touch with me that way.
I love seeing the stars, and I love being around my friends and family.
I think I was about seven years old, and I remember I was at Moffat Road Baptist Church, where I grew up with all my friends and family and probably didn’t understand nearly enough, but I knew enough to understand I wanted to be saved and wanted Jesus to be Lord of my life. What an awesome experience.
My friends and family keep me grounded.
I am a completely different person off the field, and my friends and family can vouch for that.
If one is desperate for love, I suggest looking at one’s friends and family and see if love is all around. If not, get a new set of friends, a new family.
Creating a meal for my friends and family, sitting together, eating, laughing and talking – that is when I am so happy. Oh my God, if you could see how much food I make – I am the original Jewish mother.
Some of my friends and family have tried to challenge me to do jokes that aren’t as self-deprecating, where I genuinely express my own opinion in my own voice.
Other than friends and family, my favorite things are New York and stand-up. I love doing comedy in New York – I can do way more stand-up here than in Los Angeles.
As long as my friends and family know who I am, I sleep well at night.
The sad events that occur in my life are the sad events that happen to everybody, with losing friends and family, but that is a natural occurrence, as natural as being born.
Growing up in the days when you still had to punch buttons to make a telephone call, I could recall the numbers of all my close friends and family. Today, I’m not sure if I know more than four phone numbers by heart. And that’s probably more than most.
At this time when I turn 50, because so there’s many of my friends and family who didn’t get to see 50-years-old, and so, I’m celebrating for them too.
I write songs all the time in my room. I play them for my friends and family.
Apart from music, I like to relax with friends and family, watch a film, go out for some food.
