"Believe me, my children have more stamina than a power station." ― Robbie Coltrane Topic(s): Parenting More From Robbie Coltrane "The person who comes up to you and makes the most noise and is the most intrusive is invariably the person in the room who has no respect for you at all, and it’s really all about them." "My dad? He died when I was 19, which is a bad time for your dad to die, because there’s an awful lot of things you have to resolve with your parents past your teens if you’ve been a difficult teenager." "See, what you’re meant to do when you have a mid-life crisis is buy a fast car, aren’t you? Well, I’ve always had fast cars. It’s not that. It’s the fear that you’re past your best. It’s the fear that the stuff you’ve done in the past is your best work."

And because of that, they never translate exactly."― Tom Clancy "Few things are more satisfying than seeing your children have teenagers of their own."― Doug Larson
