My parents were kind of over protective people. Me and my sister had to play in the backyard all the time. They bought us bikes for Christmas but wouldn't let us ride in the street we had to ride in the backyard. Another Christmas my dad got me a basketball hoop and put it in the middle of the lawn! You can't dribble on grass.

I bought a house for my mom I bought a house for my dad I bought a house for my sister.

The only day I remember of my parents' marriage was the day my dad walked out. As I stood there at five years old with my older sister and younger brother I knew that he was gone.

My sister is totally my dad's daughter because she loves sports.

Going to the theater is such a joyous experience. My dad would take my sister and me to plays when we were very young like six or seven years old.

There are absolutely no problems between me my dad and my sister. Obviously I grew up with just my mum but my relationship with my dad is just fine.

My Dad a small-town lawyer was also named Paul. Until we lost him when I was 16 he was a gentle presence in my life. I like to think he'd be proud of me and my sister and brothers because I'm sure proud of him and of where I come from Janesville Wisconsin.

I never had a cool older brother or sister to turn me on to cool music. I had to discover it for myself.

My sister and I said Dad are you doing to do anything about that? And he mentioned treatments other people sent him that he'd been working on. So we thought it would be kind of cool to give these guys a real script.

I've got two brothers and two sisters so there's five of us and we're all very close which is cool.

Melanie Fiona is a singer a songwriter she's a super-girl. I can be silly goofy really chilled. She's like your cool chill girlfriend sister-friend. I'm just like everybody else.

My sister has three kids so I've spent a lot of time around children and I've always really liked them and wanted my own. It's cool because you think all babies are the same but they aren't at all. They all have such different personalities. It's crazy.

We are taught you must blame your father your sisters your brothers the school the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.

The day I won an Emmy was also the day my father passed away. I received a call from my sister on the way to the ceremony and had to turn my car around and catch the first flight back to Karachi.

Although my family - parents and sister - all work in the personnel management business their real passion is performing amateur operatic societies and so on.

If your sister is in a tearing hurry to go out and cannot catch your eye she's wearing your best sweater.

My sisters and I were fortunate to travel through Asia and Europe at very young ages. We confronted extraordinary beauty in Athens and unspeakable poverty in India.
