Pastoral Resources

My father was a professor of civil engineering at MIT, and my mother taught high school English.

Just before my final year of high school, my brother, sister and I moved with my mother to San Francisco.

Yes, my mother was a singer, and my father played piano and keyboards. They were in a band together, though they also had regular jobs because they had kids and stuff like that.

My father went into the armed service and I never saw my mother - I don't know what happened to her.

As I have discovered by examining my past, I started out as a child. Coincidentally, so did my brother. My mother did not put all her eggs in one basket, so to speak: she gave me a younger brother named Russell, who taught me what was meant by 'survival of the fittest."

The real cure for our environmental problems is to understand that our job is to salvage Mother Nature. We are facing a formidable enemy in this field. It is the hunters... and to convince them to leave their guns on the wall is going to be very difficult.

Always a godmother, never a mother. That sucks. I've got to get me one of those little accessories.

A vacation frequently means that the family goes away for a rest, accompanied by a mother who sees that the others get it.

My father was always telling himself no one was perfect, not even my mother.

My mother protected me from the world and my father threatened me with it.

You fall out of your mother's womb, you crawl across open country under fire, and drop into your grave.

My mother, Dorothy Watson, had met my father in a Greek class at Northwestern University.

I didn't have anything to do with being born to my mother and father. But I had a lot to do with Kristin Shepard's notoriety. I'm proud of the work I did on Dallas.

I'd like to be a wife and mother. I guess I'll know Mr. Right when I meet him.

I enlisted when I was a boy. The Navy looked after me like my mother. It fed me, took care of me and gave me wonderful opportunities.

My mother and stepfather were married 43 years, so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And, you know, it's just a number.

I've been going through photos of my mother, looking back on her life and trying to put it into context. Very few people age gracefully enough to be photographed through their aging.

I am so excited to let fans in on how important my relationship with my family is to me. I hope to motivate mothers and daughters to build lifetimes of memories together and inspire kids around the world to live their dreams.

I was so ugly my mother used to feed me with a sling shot.

My mother had morning sickness after I was born.
