[Babies are] a loud noise at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.

My father was very energetic; my mother was very energetic. He lived to a very old age, and so did my mother. I believe that I just have it from my father, from my parents. They had wonderful energy.

The best thing about having a sister was that I always had a friend.

I believed in raising my children as I had been raised.

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

I was loved dearly by my father but I was never so precious that he didn’t think that I could be in there right at the table.

Having a sister is like having a best friend you can’t get rid of. You know whatever you do, they’ll still be there.

I’m pretty conservative or old-fashion, I should say, it’s how I grew up. I think you have to let your children be individuals, but you have to set boundaries. Ryan and I have similar ideas about all of it, you really have to support you partner in the things that are important to them and hold the line together.

Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet.

I pay my mama’s bills, I ain’t got no time to chill.

I am convinced that the norm in Russia should become a family with three children.

I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.

You have to get that mom face right, like, ‘Oh, did that happen? Tell me more.’ Trying not to react so you get the good information. I tried to tell Sasha and Malia, ‘Do not go to other 14-year-olds for information, ’cause all you all are dumb. Talk to me.’ It’s like, ‘All of you are dumb. You know nothing. Love you!’ So, let’s just talk about it. Don’t ask Olivia what she thinks about sex. She doesn’t know!

He didn’t come out of my belly, but my God, I’ve made his bones, because I’ve attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I’m so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.

I was bribing North to wear her butter 350’s by saying they glow in the dark. However, she made me turn off the lights to test it. She caught me lying but Kanye was on speaker phone and said don’t worry I will make them.
