When you start about family, about lineage and ancestry, you are talking about every person on earth.

In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.

Tammy Faye, I pray for every day. I really liked her. I wanted to be in their family.

I was sad to see anybody leave, we had a very nice family on that show. I was very sad to see momma go, Victoria and especially Linda. My god that was my wife on the show, in fact my wife calls her wife.

I just asked myself, what piece of that man's soul did he just chew off and swallow to get next week's assignment? You know, just to live, just to work as an artist, or to feed the family?

I think I'm most proud of my family right now. I'm more into that then I've ever been. It also gives a new area to draw from in creativity with my songs.

I've got one young family by the first wife, with four children.

As a child my family's menu consisted of two choices: take it or leave it.

I grew up in a family where many of our close friends were gay couples. As well as that, every man goes through a period of thinking they're attracted to another guy.

If one is desperate for love, I suggest looking at one's friends and family and see if love is all around. If not, get a new set of friends, a new family.

The state and the church seldom approve of anything I do. I don't need their approval. I don't aspire to the heterosexual nuclear family model.

The building of friendship, family, community and love is complicated. We are so isolated in this country, no longer supported by tribes and villages.

What sustains me is to be with my family and to write.

As many of you know I travel a good bit and do not get to see my friends and family as much as I would like.

I take the family shopping round. The markets of the world.
