In my family, they were all big boozers.
— Ronnie Wood
In my own upbringing, my family lacked the ability to provide a stable, nurturing environment.
— Ronnie Musgrove
We must use our seat at the table to be a voice every day for women and girls across the country who often do not have the same opportunity to have their voices heard. This means advocating for childcare and paid family leave, as first daughter Ivanka Trump has championed in this administration.
— Ronna McDaniel
I think my feet were on the ground, and I had good family around me. It comes down to who you are and your upbringing.
— Ronan Keating
I grew up as the youngest child in a big, noisy family, and there was always someone around to hang out with.
Woody Allen - legally, ethically, personally - was absolutely a father in our family.
— Ronan Farrow
My family is everything. I am what I am thanks to my mother, my father, my brother, my sister... because they have given me everything. The education I have is thanks to them.
— Ronaldinho
I grew up in a house that was always happy, and my family was always music, music. I started playing percussion very young, because I had some uncles who were musicians and all my aunts were singers.
You get more irrationality within the family and in consumer behavior than you get, say, in the behavior of firms in their purchases.
— Ronald Coase
I don't know who in my family thinks very fast at all, including me. The things that people see me do onstage are written, so it doesn't have to be very quick if you have all day with a pen.
— Ron White
The joke in our family is that we can cry reading the phone book.
— Ron Reagan
My sister Jennifer is an Emmy winning journalist and mother of three amazing girls. She brings an exceptional dedication to her job, her family, and her community, and has been a role model of mine for many, many years. I'm extremely proud of her.
— Ron Livingston
When I occasionally indulge in sort of a 'look back' at highlights, it's so interesting - it almost never comes from an image on a set or even the Academy Awards. It's almost always a family trip or meeting and falling in love with Cheryl.
— Ron Howard
AP promoted me to the White House beat because I knew Clinton, his family, friends, and staff better than anybody in the national press corps. Those contacts helped me break a few stories and get my career in Washington jump-started.
— Ron Fournier
I think those who invest in mutual funds want someone else to do the thinking for them. But the fact that they can move the money around the family of mutual funds just through a phone call lets them feel that they can play tycoons.
— Ron Chernow
When I was a child, I always wanted to be funny and to please people in my family. As you grow up that instinct becomes more refined, but it's still there.
— Romola Garai
I have always told my family that I don't want my birthday to be celebrated and that they shouldn't get me anything, even though if they didn't I'd probably write a standup routine about it.
— Romesh Ranganathan
People think that cartoons are meant to be watched on television and not in cinemas. To get people into cinemas to see animation really boils down to storytelling for the family.
— Ronnie Screwvala
My childhood was safe and sane. No abuse and no traumas. I was surrounded by a large and loving family who taught me the importance of hard work and a meaningful education.
— Ronnie James Dio
If there were things I felt the White House needed to be doing differently, I'd probably call them. I have a saying, and I had this in Michigan as chair, which is, 'We're a family.' When you have a difference of opinion in your family, you don't go on 'Jerry Springer'; you pick up the phone, and you call your family member.
I worked very hard in my first marriage, and I travelled constantly to make money for the family, and when I came home, I would be the best father that I could be.
I grew up in a family where you could never be the center of attention.
Not to psychologize, but it's hard growing up in a family of 14 to ever feel like you're the center of the universe, or that you're that special or different. Because when it comes down to it, you're still fighting for food at the dinner table.
My only concern is playing. Everything else, my family looks after. In our house, everyone has a job, and my job in our house is to play football.
I come from a family where soccer has always been very present. My uncles, my father and my brother were all players.
Americans are free to choose everything from what they eat, drive and watch on TV to the President of the United States. Yet, when it comes to allowing Americans to choose the health insurance that works best for them and their family, the freedom to choose suddenly becomes un-American.
— Ron Wyden
I phoned the KKK Grand Wizard David Duke in Louisiana and asked why my membership was being delayed. He said my application was on his desk and promised to deal with it personally. It was the first of many conversations with David Duke. We talked about his family, the weather, and about his political ambitions.
— Ron Stallworth
I live in Cullowhee, North Carolina. That's where I teach, at Western Carolina University. That region is where my family has lived for a long time and that region is my landscape.
— Ron Rash
I don't believe in perfection, but those acrimony-free gaps during our family holidays can be downright blissful.
I'm lucky in a lot of ways. And in my family life, my home life, is where I count myself the luckiest.
The average person - if you had a situation that hit your family and you needed to do something, you would not just go and take a vacation, or you would not do something that's not related to the task at hand. But in Washington, that just seems to be par for the course.
— Ron DeSantis
There's a lot of truth in family relationships.
— Ron Cephas Jones
I'm from an Indian family of professionals, and my parents had to go through hardships themselves to send me to IIT-Mumbai.
— Romesh Wadhwani
My family is all obsessed with comedy. I grew up watching a lot of comedy in the house. I used to watch Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy with my dad. But my mom is more into slapstick stuff.
I just feel that I need to set my kid's future as best as I can and my family's future and my friends' future as well.
— Ronnie Radke
All the family money is for philanthropy, except for living expenses for my mother. She is 94 and isn't a big spender.
— Ronnie Chan
My family celebrates both the navratras that come twice in a year. We also refrain from eating meat. I just enjoy that people come home, savour the variety of snacks and participate in our puja during this time.
— Ronit Roy
As you get older, the cliches of life ring true. It's the simple things that matter most: your family, the people you love, your health and sanity.
I grew up in a family that had young people adopted from all over the world.
He's my father married to my sister. That makes me his son and his brother-in-law. That is such a moral transgression... I cannot see him. I cannot have a relationship with my father and be morally consistent. I lived with all these adopted children, so they are my family. To say Soon-Yi was not my sister is an insult to all adopted children.
Football is a great love because I was born into a family of players and therefore born into football. I'm fortunate to have a style of play that a lot of people like. It's a privilege to be able to do what I like best and in my own way, but I'm fortunate that people like it, and that motivates me even more.
You know, I did records by myself and I always will say the Isley Brothers, and featuring Ronald. I won't, you know, just, I won't try to deviate from the Isley Brothers, because that's what the family dream was all about.
— Ronald Isley
While Free Choice Vouchers didn't fulfill my vision of a health care system in which every American would be empowered to hire and fire their insurance company, they were a foothold for choice and competition and a safety valve for Americans whose employers are already forcing them to bear more and more of their family's health insurance costs.
The last thing I want is to die and then be put into the Hall of Fame. It's not because I won't be there to enjoy it, exactly. It's because I want to enjoy it with family and friends and fans. I want to see them enjoy it.
— Ron Santo
I'm a fan of 'Family Guy,' and I like watching the show.
I want to work. I'd be unsatisfied if I couldn't be pursuing this. But I love my family more. This is really life.
Outside of his loving family, I'm sure that Andy Griffith was Don Knotts' greatest fan.
Strange as it may seem, George Washington's life has now been so minutely documented that we know far more about him than did his own friends, family, and contemporaries.
Having grown up in a military family, I know that politics should have no role in determining who is best qualified to lead our armed forces.
— Ron Barber
Being away a lot on tour means that my family has to suffer an inordinate amount of overcompensation, as I return home with skewed ideas of what counts as quality time. I will force everyone into a cinema trip, insistent that three hours in the dark in silence is the perfect way for us all to re-engage.
