One thing I always heard from the begining when I talked about this being a movie - was that the rule is that animated movies don't work unless they're Disney movies for kids. Unless they're family movies.

And of course there's so much music in and around our family. I had a piano during Christmas because it's obviously useful through the season. There are so many people, songwriters, who are around.

I love music, and outside of work my family keeps me very busy, I have five children to keep track of.

At the age of 16 I was already dreaming of having a baby because I felt myself to be an adult, but my mum forbid it. Right now, I feel like a teenager and I want to have fun for one or two more years before starting a family.

Love and fear. Everything the father of a family says must inspire one or the other.

Our extended family is an integral part of our daily lives and Connie and I welcome you with open arms.

Oh, definitely and you know you take the bitter with the sweet but the benefits far outweigh the burdens of what I've been able to do for my family, my word.

We fight a lot, you know, but that's family. We may be dysfunctional but we're still family.

I had done 25 motion pictures prior to The Partridge Family and nobody knew my name.

I wanted some family structure and stability, and that's what The Partridge Family afforded me, not only financially but in the fact that I could be at home with my kids.

My father was a carpenter, a very good carpenter. He also worked for the Jones boys. They were not family members, we weren't related at all. They started the policy racket in Chicago, and they had the five and dime store.

Our lives are so hectic and full, and we have a big family right now.

It has to be real, and I think a lot of the problems we have as a society is because we don't acknowledge that family is important, and it has to be people who are present, you know, and mothers and fathers, both are not present enough with children.

My youngest uncle Randy and I were the first members of our entire family to ever go to college.

My family is a part of my life and everything is all a mixture of enjoyment.
