My family do not think I'm special - not one, one bit.
— Sophie Monk
I don't want to be going to bed at night thinking that people want to harm us, or my family, because that's when the lioness comes out.
— Sophie Gregoire Trudeau
When it comes to my family I never quite know how protective I have to be, or what I should or shouldn't say.
— Sophie Ellis-Bextor
I come from a family of greedy food lovers.
— Sophie Dahl
My son has one parent who's 50. I want him to have a family of young people, too!
— Sophie B. Hawkins
Having a family has made a huge difference in the roles I take, so doing a show in L.A. is a huge factor.
— Sonya Walger
Social media gives one a family to share one's life with.
— Sonu Nigam
My mother's brother, my uncle, was an actor, quite well known in the West End. He used to come over to our house, and he and I would put on performances for my family. From that, this love of performing and acting grew.
— Sonoya Mizuno
The goal of any farmer, after producing enough to feed his own family, has always been to find the best place to sell the year's crop.
— Sonny Perdue
I don't want to let my family down; I don't want to let myself down. That's probably the biggest thing I fear.
— Sonny Bill Williams
It means so much to me that my family went against our tradition for me.
— Sonita Alizadeh
I came from an intellectual Parisian family. My father was a watchmaker; my mother was a housewife. We discussed politics, art, sculpture - never fashion.
— Sonia Rykiel
My husband's duty is to the country, and mine is to the family.
— Sonia Gandhi
To be honest, I'm a little upset these days. My family has been exposed to the media. Some people break into our house. My ex-girlfriend's photos are circulating online. To say that these are things I need to endure for the sake of celebrity... that's sad. I want to respectfully request that my private life remain private.
— Song Joong-ki
When I get into relationships, I'm an all-or-nothing person. I just completely give in to the person. It becomes my first priority in life; family, friends and career follow.
— Sonam Kapoor
I have realised that to ensure my family stays healthy, it is important I stay fit and healthy myself.
— Sonali Bendre
Being a fitness enthusiast, I try to stay away from overindulgence. I make sure my family eats healthy, too.
Wherever we go, in a restaurant or on the street or on a ski hill or even travelling, people come up to see us and they're just so friendly. They always have a super story to tell us concerning his dad or when he was young and I'm always interested to get to know stories about Justin and his family.
I have lots of athletes in my family and they showed me how to waterski - slalom, barefoot - all that stuff.
In my family, we were all rather plump as teenagers.
My mother, all of her sisters and my siblings all went through a stage from the age of about 15 to 19 where they widened and then lengthened. Had I not been modelling, that would have been a phase that was in a family photo album rather than in Vogue.
Because sorry to say, women run the house. They run the family. They hold things up. I mean, it's like you don't ever see your mom get sick because she handles everything. And it's kind of amazing I think to show people just how strong women are.
— Sophia Bush
I have thought you could not give everything to your books and also to your children, so for a long time, I thought if I had a child or a family, I'd think, 'How would I support them?' because basically I would stop writing.
— Sonya Hartnett
For most of my childhood, I grew up in the countryside of England, where it was very suburban - there weren't a lot of people who were multicultural like my family. It was a place where the blonde and brunette girls in school were considered gorgeous. And because of that, I remember feeling like I wasn't good enough.
I'm trying to make sure that for myself and for my family, I'm staying as close to the heart of God that I possibly can.
— Sonny Sandoval
Since I was a boy - born into a farming family in Bonaire, GA - I've had agriculture running through my veins.
I was born in a blizzard, a special out-of-season blizzard, the worst blizzard Oslo ever suffered. Family, home, circumstances, the country I lived in and the weather I was born in all conspired to make a skater of me.
— Sonja Henie
A good girl in Afghanistan should be silent, should not talk about her future, should listen to your family, be like a doll so that everyone can play with her.
I am what I am. Before I was not so proud to make fashion. My family thought fashion wasn't very interesting. So I hid that.
It was through the private world of family that the public world of politics came alive for me: living in intimate proximity with people for whom larger questions of ideology and belief, as well as issues relating to politics and governance, were vivid daily realities.
I like potential in people. If I find someone who has lot of potential and can do something with life, then I don't see bank balance, which family he comes from, or his religion.
Incorporating small changes/additions in one's daily routine can have a big impact. For example, eating a healthy diet, including a handful of almonds every day and a regular exercise regime, not only helps me maintain a healthy life but also balance both my family's health as well as my own.
If someone would ask me to choose between TV and films, I would go for TV. I am content with it. Also, I have a family and a son to look after. A mother needs to be there with the child.
During Holi, my mom prepares lovely puran polis, and everyone in my family makes an exception in their diet plan to include this delicious food item!
Girls are womb of humanity, nucleus of the family and are supposed to become fully participant citizens in our own countries.
There are a lots of clowns in our family - our house is a fun house.
My family is as complicated as the next family. We have our joys and our tragedies, and we bear both with a black humour that is in our genes.
I was really proactive in trying to heal my family. I wouldn't give up. My whole life was about trying to get my father healthier, and there were moments when he was healthier. Then someone would give him a drink. I always felt if he had one person in his life who supported his healthy side, he'd be on his way.
I was lucky. My family is wonderful. And it's funny, because most of my best friends come from very large families. So it always felt as if I had lots of siblings, though in the end I had to leave them and go home. I kind of got the best of both worlds as a kid.
Let's just say my phone blew up when I came out on global television. The only people that knew were my immediate family members and my closest friends, maybe like three of them. So you can imagine how many texts and emails and Facebook messages that I got after coming out, most of which were very supportive from the LGBT community.
— Sonya Deville
When I was, like, 10, I cooked a three-course meal for my family.
My grandmother and mother were from Italy, so I was raised Catholic. That kind of just meant going to church on Easter and Christmas. I saw a radical transformation in my family when they started going to a Christian church. I watched them fall in love with God.
Being a young Kiwi lad, a young Polynesian boy, I was pretty close to my family. But when I moved to Sydney, I went from training twice a week, playing touch footy with my mates, to working full-time as a labourer and training professionally.
When I was a little girl, I did not listen to music much. I did not think that one day I would become a rapper. I was born in a very traditional and religious family. Being a female was destroying my dreams. Slowly, first through poetry and then music, I began to find ways to share my thoughts and feelings, talk to my family and to the world.
The truth is that since childhood I had cultivated an existential independence. It came from perceiving the adults around me as unreliable, and without it I felt I wouldn't have survived. I cared deeply for everyone in my family, but in the end I depended on myself.
— Sonia Sotomayor
My entire adult life has been devoted to family and career, each adding to the other in many rewarding ways. I have never felt that I had to set a pattern for my writing and teaching.
— Sonia Levitin
I grew up in a very open-minded family. My father died when I was very little, so my mother was really, really incredibly busy trying to provide for us.
— Sonia Braga
I may not be the number one movie star, or my films might not be doing too good. I am grateful for what life has offered me. I have got a great family, parents are together, have a great sister, I get to holiday. All these things make me grateful towards life, for everything. I always say - have an attitude of gratitude.
For working mothers, creating a work-life balance is critical, as we must ensure we do not neglect any significant part of our lives - our children, our family's health, our own health and fitness, our marriage, and, of course, our careers.
I'm so glad that my profession helps me find a balance. I have the luxury to choose between my work and my family. Many women don't. I thank my stars for whatever I have.
