As kids do, they're smart, and even if parents try to keep things away from them, conflict and issues and whatnot, kids pick up on what's happening.

I try to keep an even keel.

Good things just keep happening.

Nobody's all good or bad, and nobody's all light or dark. Every human being has so many different aspects and facets to them. And there can be something noble and something really dark and dangerous going on in a person all at the same time.

Parents seem to want to provide things, especially experiences, for their kids that maybe they didn't have growing up. And since 9/11, SARS, the tsunami and Katrina, it seems people have a feeling of living more in the moment.

Success consists of getting up just one more time than you fall.
