I just want to make sure when I have kids, I can spend time with them. That’s the whole point.

The pressures of being a parent are equal to any pressure on earth. To be a conscious parent, and really look to that little being’s mental and physical health is a responsibility which most of us, including me, avoid most of the time, because it’s too hard…To put it loosely, the reason why kids are crazy is because nobody can face the responsibility of bringing them up…

It’s her first grandchild, so she’s really, really, really excited. I guess my mom is a little more stressed out than me.

I have real good parents. They poor. They have regular, poor jobs and what not. They real good people and what not; I was just raised in a bad society.

Now that the baby is coming, I will do a lot more balancing. I’m going to be a real mommy.

I know what it’s like to be married and to live in a house with a garden, but it’s not something I’m striving for at the moment.

I have a wonderful shelter, which is my family. I have a wonderful relationship with my brother and sister; this makes me feel that I know always where I belong.

I was probably 10 or 11 when I saw that, and sort of started thinking, ‘You know what? Marriage is an option. Having a family is an option. And going to school and getting your education and building your career is another really viable option that can lead to happiness and fulfillment.

As children we recognized that we belonged to an unusual, even exceptional, family, but the effect was different on each of us.

My mother was a very beautiful lady, I thought. She was very good to me. I guess – she died when I was nine and a half, but if she had lived, I probably wouldn’t be trying to play guitar. She wanted me to be known, but as something else. Not a guitar player.

My daughters are the heart of my heart and the center of my world.

You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.

My #1 priority is being a mother as well and I can work too, so can you!

My grandma is probably the only person on this planet that I still remember their home number by heart

Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.
