I never spend more than a week away from the children. — © Essie Davis
I never spend more than a week away from the children.
I've never gone to the Oscars because I can't afford another week away. It is not more important than my husband. It is not more important than my kids.
I've always said I have more money than I can spend, than my children can spend.
Most people spend more time planning a one-week vacation than they spend planning their life.
I don't go looking for somewhere to spend my money. You can step on a tube of toothpaste for a week, if you have to. I spend what I need to and give it away.
I used to like people more, but now I have children and that changes your life in a lot of ways. Like you spend time with people you never would have chosen to spend time with, not in a million years. I spend whole days with people, I'm like, "I never would have hung out with you. I didn't choose you. Our children chose each other based on no criteria by the way. They're the same size. They don't care who they make me hang out with."
One should, I think, always give children money, for they will spend it for themselves far more profitably than we can ever spend it for them.
I would only spend a week or two in the Philippines, most probably the week during my birthday because I am planning to give away Christmas gifts to the poor people of General Santos just like what I did last year.
My ideal holiday would be to spend the first week doing lots of fun stuff, then to spend the second week relaxing on a beach.
It's easy to get four days a week of training in and I don't spend more than 55-60 minutes in the gym.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
I've been around baseball for a really long time. I didn't know I could want to be here any more than I do, have any more love or passion for this. But being away, even for just a week, that was the worst. I didn't know what was going on. I never want to do that again.
I would say the most satisfying thing actually is watching my three children each pick up on their own interests and work many more hours per week than most people that have jobs at trying to intelligently give away that money in fields that they particularly care about.
I have never felt more alive than when I watched my children delight in something, never more alive than when I have watched a great artist perform, and never richer than when I have scored a big check to fight AIDS.
The best way to be productive is to have a great team. So I spend more time than most CEOs on human resources. That's 20 percent of my week.
If some glorious angel suddenly descended through my living room ceiling and offered to take away the children I have and give me other, better children — more polite, funnier, nicer, smarter — I would cling to the children I have and pray away that atrocious spectacle.
Once a week i have to do my radio show, 'A State of Trance', usually on Wednesday night. I try to go running at least three times a week and spend at least a day without turning my laptop on and spend it with my wife and daughter.
