Many children work hard to please their parents, but what I truly longed for was good times that were about us, not about me. That is the real hole the Dodgers filled in my life.
I still speak Czech with my parents because I was born there.
I don't remember not dancing. When I realized I was alive and these were my parents, and I could walk and talk, I could dance.
My parents are older, and they lead a somewhat sheltered life. It was difficult to talk with them about things that were embarrassing to me, and that I had never spoken to them about.
When I was five years old, my parents gave me a magic chest. I learned to cast spells, although of a childish kind, before I had learned to read and write.
The relation between parents and children is essentially based on teaching.
But I also like to shower my parents with presents. I bought them a beautiful car and a house.
A boy becomes an adult three years before his parents think he does, and about two years after he thinks he does.
My parents didn't treat me as if there was anything in the world I couldn't do, except be unkind.
Even my parents are so cute, and they deal with every movie of mine excellently. They check with me ever so casually by asking 'Now how much of nudity are we going to see in this one?'
When a child is bruised physically or emotionally, parents often reward him with a treat.
But that was war. Just about all he could find in its favor was that it paid well and liberated children from the pernicious influence of their parents.
I mean you got to thank your parents for giving you the right genes.
Actually, my parents were separated by the time I was about 2 years old.
I didn't think any amount of money was worth something that would take away what you believed in or what you stood for. I didn't want to do something my parents and daughter couldn't be proud of.
