Son Quotes
Fathers, sons, and the choices made for family.
This collection of son quotes includes a mother recalling her young son's Christmas request, a man's reflection on parents who came to America from Jamaica and worked the fields and farms, and an executive explaining a career move made to keep his son in the same school.

The desire to keep television out of our son's life was one of the few parenting priorities my husband and I agreed on from the beginning.

When I started, with films like 'The Bay Boy' and 'Stand by Me', I look back on those interviews and I'm amazed; there's no mention of my father; it's not even 'son of Donald Sutherland.' I caught a bit of a break in that it never felt like a weight to me.

Owens may not be my real last name, but it's close as it gets, because it's my son's name, Owen. That's why I picked that name, and Kevin Owens is who I am. I can't stress that enough.
