My children are my life. They're so spectacular.

My children are the most important thing in my life.

It is no small thing that the juiciest and most complicated roles of my life have come post-having two children.

I do know I want to have children. That's the only thing missing in my life. I certainly thought I'd have some by now.

If my style is typically Swedish, I don't know. But I never shouted in all my life at players and I never did it at my children.

My life contains so many other things; I have my children, my grandchildren, my two dogs and a big place in the country. I have my own life.

If I had stayed in Belfast, my life there wouldn't have as easy as it was in Scotland. I see the strain on the people who stayed. Always worrying about the safety of their children.

I had a 20-year career. I have two children. The advantage of writing later in my life is that I already had a whole mature realm of accomplishments and responsibilities, an identity outside of being a writer.

Obviously I'll still be involved in organizations like the USO and Wounded Warriors, which will always be a big part of my life. But I like to motivate people, and I like working with children. I could go anywhere and do anything.

I started performing with the Boston Children's Opera when I was 5, and I stayed working with that group until I was about 12 or 13, so that was a huge part of my life. It was, weirdly, an extremely professional environment geared towards kids.

What I've found in my life with our children is that often you can give them advice and tell them to eat the right things, stay in shape and wear sunscreen, and they don't really want to listen. But then they hear it from someone else, and they do listen.

I was at that point where my children needed more than going around the planet in the back of a bus. They needed stability, they needed to build their own lives and relationships, and I needed to put my life on hold. I made my choice - I chose my children.

I have no intention of selling any more of the historical Apollo 11 items in my possession for the remainder of my life. I intend to pass a portion of these items on to my children and to loan the most important items for permanent display in suitable museums around the country.
