The traditional spokespersons for the Evangelicals, such as Chuck Colson and James Dobson, have become alarmed about this drift away from the 'Family Values' issues that they believe should be the overwhelming concerns of Evangelicals. They have expressed their displeasure in letters of protest circulated through the religious media.
— Tony Campolo
My dad was a militant atheist, or is a militant atheist. My mum was sort of bought up in a religious family because she was a Protestant from Ireland but wasn't especially religious.
— Tony Blair
I grew up in an era where the record companies just sold records to everybody, and the whole family bought songs.
— Tony Bennett
My day rotates around my family. I am very lucky.
— Tony Benn
What my family's been through I can't even put into words. We're very close.
— Tony Bellew
I don't think a female running a house is a problem, a broken family. It's perceived as one because of the notion that a head is a man.
— Toni Morrison
My family was very supportive, but also very insistent that I finish school, and to be honest, I wanted to finish school.
— Toni Garrn
I love working. I love it! It makes me feel awake and alive and appreciative, as does my family, but in a different way. If I was told I couldn't do it, I think I would wither and die.
— Toni Collette
I don't know how people get into show business if their family's not in it.
— Toni Basil
I was born in Budapest, Hungary, and moved to the United States in 1956. It was during the Hungarian Revolution when Russian tanks rolled into Budapest, and my family - me, my brother, and my parents - escaped over the border to Austria. We just took whatever we could carry. It was perilous, but we made it across.
— Tommy Ramone
Boxing is a family tradition. The last five generations down to my dad have been fighters.
— Tommy Morrison
Disney was a family film studio. I was supposed to be their young, leading man. After they found out I was involved with someone, that was the end of Disney.
— Tommy Kirk
My family is patriotic.
— Tomi Lahren
What you say about me, my family, and on my social media says a lot more about your character than it does mine.
I've got such close ties to both... Glasgow with all my family, then Manchester with all my mates that I grew up with. So my heart is definitely in both.
— Tom Walker
My family is very close. I can't say that about many people I meet in Hollywood.
— Tom Verica
My family is very discreet. White-shoe, you know?
— Tom Sizemore
I, for one, am quite willing to join the 'forgive, forget and move on' crowd, but it does make me wonder if Evangelicals are going to sound believable when they say that they tend to vote Republican because of their religious commitments to the family.
I grew up in an era where the record companies just sold records to everybody, and the whole family bought songs. Today, record companies are failing because they are putting their accent just on the young, and I think that's rather silly.
I was possessed with a wonderful example of my Italian American family. They would come over and join us every Sunday, all my aunts and uncles and nephews and nieces, and I would sing for them.
When I left school - or, rather, when I was expelled from school for hitting a kid who had disrespected a teacher - I had nothing, with nowhere to go. Where I'm from, it really means that. Now my family are millionaires. I never dreamed this would be possible.
For small business people, less paperwork means higher profits, boosted sales and more time with the family.
— Tony Abbott
For those of us playing in a foreign league, it's always nice to spend a few days with family and friends who we don't get to see every day.
— Toni Kroos
It was a big step for me to take, going away from my family to go and play in a different culture, and I understand why people don't do it.
— Toni Duggan
I love holidays. It's such a wonderful time for the whole family to be together and not have to worry about schedules and that kind of thing.
I come from a very vaudevillian family.
There's a family tradition of fighting in the Kansas City Golden Gloves. My older brother, Tim, did, and so did my father's two youngest brothers, Trent and Troy. They all won the Golden Gloves. So when my mother asked me to keep the tradition going, I did.
I don't need much of a character in my life. I've already got one; my family knows who I am, and I don't have a reason to make an impression on the world around me unless it's in a professional context. Acting is not a personal experience; it's a job.
— Tommy Lee Jones
The military infrastructure grew me. My faith in God is important, my belief in my country is important, my relationship to my family is important, the things that Mom and Dad tell you growing up are important.
— Tommy Franks
I think there are a lot of circumstances that surround the Clinton family that aren't explainable, and I will let people go on and research it for themselves. And if they think there is something fishy going on, leave it to them.
My Facebook fans have become my family in a lot of ways, so when that was taken away from me, it felt like a huge part of me was shut down.
In the past 40 years, the United States lost more than a million farmers and ranchers. Many of our farmers are aging. Today, only nine percent of family farm income comes from farming, and more and more of our farmers are looking elsewhere for their primary source of income.
— Tom Vilsack
My family was in Singapore when the Japanese War started. We were in Singapore at the time of Pearl Harbor, and by the beginning of 1942, the Japanese invasion of Burma and Singapore had started.
— Tom Stoppard
I never hurt anybody; I only hurt myself and my family. I never did anything mean to anybody, I was just mean to myself.
Most Evangelicals claim to be politically non-partisan, and say they only identify with the Republican Party because the Republicans are committed to 'family values.'
Nobody has communicated with the public more than Lady Gaga. Ever. I trust the audience, and I'm very impressed. As far as they're concerned, she's part of their family. The only guy who ever did that was Bing Crosby, years ago.
Normally, people give up parliament because they want to do more business or spend more time with family. My wife said 'why don't you say you're giving up to devote more time to politics?'. And it is what I have done.
Especially with someone like me, my family know how much I push myself to the absolute limit.
I have close family members as well as lots of close friends who are gay. Many of them strongly support gay marriage.
I'm a family person, and I always wanted four kids.
I'm starting to realise that there are certain themes that I return to, those being that there is no such thing as normal, and people finding their voice and living authentically. And also that you can be influenced and helped through an extended family.
I love my family, I'll do anything for them.
— Toni Braxton
One day I was at the park with my family, all my cousins and stuff, in Frankston... We were all just singing a song and my aunty was like 'oh guys, she can actually hold a note.' I think that's the earliest memory of someone actually pointing me out as someone that has an ability to sing. I was probably like 7 years old.
— Tones and I
I'm happy in Oklahoma. It's closer to family. Nobody expects anything of you there.
I want to be remembered for Swiss Family Robinson and Old Yeller. I think Swiss is probably my favorite film.
Gambling has brought our family together. We had to move to a smaller house.
— Tommy Cooper
When young ladies approach me and thank me for providing a conservative role model, it's all worth it. When the family members of law enforcement officers approach me and thank me for being a voice for their community, it is all worth it.
I can't believe I've met the royal family. It's, like, one of those things you never expect to do in your life.
Let us tackle the big issues with bold ideas that transform Iowa to accomplish our shared mission to grow Iowa, and realize our shared vision of Iowa as the best place to live, work and raise a family.
Obviously, you would give your life for your children, or give them the last biscuit on the plate. But to me, the trick in life is to take that sense of generosity between kin, make it apply to the extended family and to your neighbour, your village and beyond.
