My family spans many world religions, ethnicities and nationalities. The truth is that I don't have one identity. I'm Scottish, British, European, Humanist, Atheist and in part at least, culturally Jewish.
— Sara Sheridan
My family often travels to New York City during the holidays, and that's always a good time.
— Sara Shepard
My family has always supported me completely and kept me grounded. I never got lost in child Hollywood actor weirdness.
— Sara Paxton
The women in my family are all super-emotional. The catchphrase in our family is 'Listen to my words, not my tears.'
— Sara Bareilles
I come from a family where two wheelers were not allowed. No seriously not even a tiny cycle around the compound.
— Saqib Saleem
I think family, friends and a sense of community give you greater happiness than money. But, of course, one has to have a minimum on which to live. The joy I get from sitting around and having a laugh is immeasurable - much greater than anything that I have ever bought.
— Sanjeev Bhaskar
Both my parents were migrant workers who came to the U.K. in the Fifties to better themselves. The culture I grew up in was to work hard, save hard and to look after your family.
Family business management is a discipline that has evolved from an art into a science. The market for this line of education has been created by the growing recognition of family-run companies that shareholders are demanding greater clarity on issues ranging from succession to the management of wealth and the distribution of profits.
— Sanjaya Baru
The film industry is a lovely family and I respect it.
— Sanjay Dutt
If you have your family's support, you can overcome anything.
— Sangram Singh
Our family makes us who we are, defines us totally. When you go to a therapist or have analysis, whatever reason you go in for, they will always bring you back to your family. We're strong or weak according to what family we have. You might have left them long ago, might not even talk to them, but something lingers; we have no choice.
— Sandrine Bonnaire
In our youths, many of us suspected that being tied down to a partner and family might constrain us. But after 40, even that landscape starts to shift. Many singletons turn inward and start longing for the things so many of us longed to be free of in our 20s.
— Sandra Tsing Loh
Generally if you're a daughter in a Mexican family, no one wants to tell you anything; they tell you the healthy lies about your family.
— Sandra Cisneros
I have friends and family that are filled with massive amounts of integrity. And it shouldn't be an oddity.
— Sandra Bullock
You don't have to give birth to someone to have a family.
Mostly, I'm totally happy in my own space at home with the door closed with my family and friends.
— Sandi Toksvig
I think kids are in your temporary care, and that they probably arrive with pretty much the personalities they're going to have. I grew up in a perfectly traditional family and turned out how I did. I'm not sure there's much that the family can do except lots of love and lots of care and lots of chances for them to develop the best they can.
My identity has always been confused. Born in Edinburgh of a Scottish/Russian/Jewish mother and an English/Irish/Catholic father, there is no form of guilt to which I was not subjected in my childhood. Members of my immediate family live all over the world - a diaspora of cousins, aunts, uncles and more in a dizzying mix.
I will become an old, wrinkly lady one day and what will matter are my friends and my family and people who love me.
We don't have the luxury of time. We spend more because of how we live, but it's important to be with our family and friends.
— Sara Blakely
My family has been through so much and made so many sacrifices for my brothers and sisters.
— Saquon Barkley
It's really hard juggling, trying to carve out a time to have a family and be a mom and have a career, especially a creative career.
— Santigold
I've always saved. I believe in keeping money back for a rainy day and living within my means. I don't buy expensive clothes; I have a 10-year-old car I'm hoping to replace when a big job comes in. I suppose when we do go on family holidays, I am quite happy to spend when we are there.
I have issues with inheritance tax, particularly coming from a migrant family. My dad has worked incredibly hard all his life, so it seems odd to me that someone who has gone through that experience and has managed to save then gets taxed for dying.
I advocate family planning, but I have never stood for forcible sterilisation.
— Sanjay Gandhi
None of my sisters are in the movies, nor are my nieces going to be. That's how Dutt 'sahab,' my dad, brought up the girls in the family, and I am just carrying his thought forward.
This change for creating a better world will not come from the government or an outside agency; it will have to be internal. We blame the politicians for everything, but if I give equal respect and rights to the women of my family, I have taken the first step forward.
Work... family - I'm doing it all. But here's the secret I share with so many other nanny- and housekeeper-less mothers I see working the same balance: my house is trashed. It is strewn with socks and tutus.
I cohabited for 20 years with my longtime husband and father of my two now-teen daughters in a stable family household.
I think my family and closest friends are learning about my need to withdraw, and I am learning how to restore and store my energy to both serve the community to the best of my ability and to serve my writer's heart.
I think everything is going to be devastatingly sad - when the phone rings, I know somebody in my family's been hurt, somebody's going to die. I'm sure a therapist would go, 'That's not a good way to live,' but every time it's not that bad thing, I'm so thankful and appreciative.
Yes, I love my homes, I love to travel, I love my family, and I love doting on my new grandchildren. But you can only do so much of that. I don't go to lunch with friends. I don't join clubs. I don't have any big hobbies. I work. I come up with stories. I can't even imagine a life where I'm not sitting around, worried about my next book.
— Sandra Brown
One of my life's watchwords is 'hyggelig.' It's an untranslatable Danish term for getting together with friends and family and sitting around in a cosy atmosphere with nice food and wine and candles.
Power, that's one thing, but love of family and of siblings is more important, is more powerful than any other power - at least earthly power, at least earthly power.
— Sander Levin
'The Glass Castle' by Jeannette Walls is the quintessential dysfunctional family.
All the women in my family are extremely strong.
I'm a social person, and I'm used to working as a band member. I like that. I like being a part of a family onstage and on the road.
I come from an orthodox Muslim family.
I was the first member of my family to cross into Pakistan and find his ancestral village.
I started working myself from about 14, really, so I wasn't a burden on my family. I did a paper round and a milk round. When I was 15 or 16, I worked in a supermarket on Saturdays stacking shelves, and then every summer I temped, right through university until my working days started.
'Badalte Rishton ki Daastan' has enough masala to keep the audiences hooked from day one. It is a proper family drama.
— Sanjeeda Sheikh
My entire family has been with the Congress right from the time of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Congress is in our blood and as a loyalist, I am always there for Congress.
The film is a romance with songs and dances, aimed at a family audience.
I think the American Dream says that anything can happen if you work hard enough at it and are persistent, and have some ability. The sky is the limit to what you can build, and what can happen to you and your family.
— Sanford I. Weill
The very success of the modern American family - where kids get punctually to SAT-tutoring classes, the mortgage gets paid, the second-story remodel stays on budget - surely depends on spouses' not being in love.
Having family responsibilities and concerns just has to make you a more understanding person.
— Sandra Day O'Connor
Half of my family has a deep-rooted connection to the South and Louisiana, and for me, New Orleans is one of our most precious, historic communities: visually, emotionally, artistically.
You don't have to give birth to someone to have a family. We're all family - an extended family.
I know we don't all follow in the family footsteps, but you are, I suppose, more likely to consider becoming a butcher if you have spent your childhood watching a parent debone a pig.
I was born gay, OK? I've always known. I don't think my family were the least bit surprised.
