I think it’s important to show a husband and a wife together, in a room, raising children, because you don’t see that anymore.
I can’t imagine raising a child with a goal of that child being a baseball player or a lawyer or whatever. Odds are, they’ll be something else. In this world, there are a lot of opportunities.

Raising money, like sausage-making, ain’t pretty to see, and it would be just criminally naive to rely on the big hearts of big donors.
If you really spend time with movies, it’s three years of your life from beginning to end. I started out planting the seed with ‘Monster’s Ball’ about independent cinema and raising money and that whole thing as a producer, and then it becomes easier for me.
We got babies raising babies, and its important for us as responsible adults to go out and do what we can to make sure that our kids are steered in the right direction.
Trade deals are not the vehicle for raising or lowering standards of protection for consumers, the environment, workers or anyone else. Regulations are made by governments and parliaments.

This is the culture you’re raising your kids in. Don’t be surprised if it blows up in your face.

It’s no coincidence that I began writing the day my daughter started school. I knew everything I knew before I began to write, but I was raising two children and didn’t have the time to get to the typewriter.
People always say to me, ‘It must be so much pressure and so difficult playing out there in front of 60,000 people.’ I always say, ‘No, not really.’ Playing football and earning great money isn’t difficult. Working three jobs and raising kids alone, which is what my Mum did. That’s difficult.
I try to be really conscious. I don’t want to ever look back and regret not raising my kids and not being around.

My undergraduate degree was in art history! Raising money for Chipotle was really my MBA. The money for my first restaurant came from my dad, the second from mostly cash flow. The third was an SBA loan. After my dad invested $1.5 million to open a few more, he suggested I raise the money myself for the experience.
It has to have a payroll tax that’s dedicated to Social Security. The Social Security tax has been very successful over the years in raising almost all of our elderly citizens out of poverty.

I am prepared to discuss the things that I believe we need to do not just to raise the debt limit. Raising the debt limit is the easiest thing. That’s one vote away.

God put us here to prepare this place for the next generation. That’s our job. Raising children and helping the community, that’s preparing for the next generation.

As for Aamir Khan, he keeps raising the standard with every film. For an artist like me or a newcomer like me, we can only look up to that and dream, ‘When will that be us someday?’ There’s so much to learn from him. He is the encyclopedia of acting.
To be in love with someone and be raising a family with someone and want to make that commitment and not be able to is ludicrous, just ludicrous.
