The first thing I look forward to when I am in Delhi is to spend some time with my family. It’s always lovely coming back here and playing in front of my own people. It’s just a special place.

They used to call me ‚Touchdown T.‘ I remember in high school, we had homecoming, and I got in front of the pep rally, and I told them, ‚I’m going to run for three touchdowns.‘ I ran for three touchdowns, kicked the extra point, and took myself out the game.

Accident counts for as much in companionship as in marriage.

During the season, most of my time to unwind is in my car ride home. When I get home, it’s being with my kids.

Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child.

I’m in a rare position where I don’t have to do job after job. I can take time when my family needs it.

When you’re all singing together, it brings things together. I know the songs that my grandfather and my father sang.

In all our contacts it is probably the sense of being really needed and wanted which gives us the greatest satisfaction and creates the most lasting bond.

We believed in our idea – a family park where parents and children could have fun- together.

I still close my eyes and go home – I can always draw from that.

I like being with my family. That’s my party.

My wife and I tried two or three times in the last 40 years to have breakfast together, but it was so disagreeable we had to stop.

I grew up in a rural area called Vega Baja and I’m the first of so many talented people in this area to make it out. I take great pride to represent where I come from and I am able to show my fans, and everyone who listens and watches me, that anything is possible.

The influence of Bhaichung is immense. I remember when I was in the ninth or 10th standard we went to watch the Durand Cup in Delhi. Bhaichung was there. We just wanted to touch them.

As a father and now a grandfather to three wonderful grandchildren, I know how magical the first year of a child’s life is but also how much hard work it takes. Being able to spend as much time as possible with your loved ones is absolutely vital, especially early on.

Delhi means everything to me. This city has given me everything, and I love it.

I love trying out different cuisines. In Delhi, I love Megu at the Leela, and TK’s at the Hyatt. I also enjoy Khan Chacha’s rolls. In Mumbai, it’s Royal China and Shiro. And in Bangalore, I like the food at Bricklane.

My folks always let me go to the movies every Saturday. We were really motion-picture goers.

Shall I, that have destroyed my Preservers, return home?

In England, football is a big thing to talk about, but Liverpool, it’s a special place. You feel it when you make your first step.

Going home helps the content.

I don’t travel with them, but they can’t be missing in my home. There have to always be dominoes… I used to play with my family – dad, my grandpa, my uncles.

The average family spends 30 hours in front of a television, and they say they don’t have the time to have a balanced, integrated life.

When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.

I realized the other day that I’ve lived in New York longer than I’ve lived anywhere else. It’s amazing: I am a New Yorker. It’s strange; I never thought I would be.

I’m just a little kid from Akron.

I’m blessed to have such a tight-knit family that we can talk about anything. Whether we talk frequently or not, since we’re on separate ends of the country, there are a lot of moving parts, and we always stay tight and find that center ground that keeps us together.

What I like to do is get the family in the pick-up truck… and then we just go for a drive. That’s it!

There are some things you can’t share without ending up liking each other.

I don’t have maids or servants, and my husband and I love waking up early and going to the 24-hour supermarket when there is nobody else there.

The vibe in our locker room is real energetic and fun and real personable, I think from Day 1. That gets you through a lot of tough times, where in hard times, it might be common nature for guys to do their own thing and split up and become silent.

I wish I had been home more when the children were growing up. I missed a lot.

I spend a lot of time just, you know, with my girlfriend and my dog. And I mean, we don’t have a lot of furniture in our house, so it’s really simple. And we’re trying to build products for everyone in the world, right. And you don’t want to get isolated to do that.

I found that the corridors of power in Delhi were littered with lobbies of various kinds.

From when I was born to when I was 21, I never left Toronto. That’s why I’m such a city cat.

I think the family movie is very important to everybody right now.

The Sabbath provides a wonderful opportunity to strengthen family ties.

One of the peculiarities of Delhi is that the term ‚reform‘ is associated only with passing of laws in Parliament. In fact, the most important reforms are those needed, without new laws, at various level of the government, in work practices and procedures.

I always find the time to exercise – kitesurfing, tennis or cycling – and to spend time with my loved ones.

I really wanted to retire and rest and spend more time with my children, my grandchildren and of course with my wife.

When I came to Delhi and noticed an insider view, I felt what it was, and I was surprised to see it. It seemed as if dozens of separate governments are running at the same time in one main government. It appeared that everyone has its own fiefdom.

For whatever trauma came with service in tough circumstances, we should take what we learned – take our post-traumatic growth – and, like past generations coming home, bring our sharpened strengths to bear, bring our attitude of gratitude to bear.

Little by little, not by making big promises, I need to be calmer, read more, spend more time with my loved ones, and be more mindful about nature and environment.

Come, gentlemen, I hope we shall drink down all unkindness.

I am confident that nobody… will accuse me of selfishness if I ask to spend time, while I am still in good health, with my family, my friends and also with myself.

Friendship increases in visiting friends, but in visiting them seldom.

I just want to make sure when I have kids, I can spend time with them. That’s the whole point.

My wife doesn’t even want to spend 2 hours with me.

Always kiss your children goodnight, even if they’re already asleep.

I always thought that if I made it big or got successful at what I had started out to do, that I wanted to come back to my part of the country and do something great, something that would bring a lot of jobs into this area.

Maria is the best reason to come home.

My biggest hobby is hanging out with my family and kids.

You learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together.

There is no such thing as fun for the whole family.

Together with a culture of work, there must be a culture of leisure as gratification. To put it another way: people who work must take the time to relax, to be with their families, to enjoy themselves, read, listen to music, play a sport.

I let the dog out, or I let him in, and we talk some. I let him know I like him, and he lets me know he likes me.

I read to my kid, but I can’t stand reading.

I don’t take pictures when I’m with my kids, for the sake of my kids. It’s important when you’re as busy as I am that you give your kids your time when you’re with them, and nothing compromises that. I’ve been lucky enough to have fans that understand that.

Sitting on a bedroom floor crying is something that makes you feel really alone. If someone’s singing about that feeling, you feel bonded to that person. That’s the only way I can find an explanation for why 55,000 people would want to come see me sing.

Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.

Friendship, like love, is destroyed by long absence, though it may be increased by short intermissions.
