We fight a lot, you know, but that's family. We may be dysfunctional but we're still family. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I like all the families in the U.K. But what I like about the idea of the royal family is... they seem like they're well educated and there's something admirable about them. And the Queen... she reminds me of my grandma. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I'm from a nice, suburban, middle-class family, but my tattoos remind me where I've been. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Respectable means rich, and decent means poor. I should die if I heard my family called decent. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
My family moved a lot as a kid. We started in Colorado, where I lived for five years. We moved to Chicago for two years, to San Francisco for one year, Connecticut for seven, Oregon for a couple years, and then I went to school. So I was always moving, I'm still always moving.

There is a common theme, though, in the stories I have told, which are usually associations of characters or families that are formed outside of a family circle. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
If I'm diagnosed with cancer I might become despondent, but someone young might not, and they might need connections with somebody outside their circle of family because their family is so despondent. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
My family, although they're very large on both my parents' sides, they don't know much about their family tree. Occasionally, they try to dig, but they can't get very far, and it's baffling. In Dublin, it seems that so many public records were wiped out it's proven to be very difficult, so I know very little. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I'm not sure why no one wants to admit there's a viable audience out there that believes in God and wants to see a movie with their family. The demand is there. The supply is not. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Make space in your life for the things that matter, for family and friends, love and generosity, fun and joy. Without this, you will burn out in mid-career and wonder where your life went. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Whole communities are growing up without fathers or male role models. Bringing up a family in the best of circumstances is not easy. To try to do it by placing the entire burden on women - 91% of single-parent families in Britain are headed by the mother, according to census data - is practically absurd and morally indefensible.
