"I had a bat mitzvah, was confirmed, went to Jewish summer camp, I go to temple for the High Holy Days. I think, like most people in their early 20s, I kind of strayed away from it. I think once I have a family I'll be back into it."

"But in the real world, you couldnt really just split a family down the middle, mom on one side, dad the other, with the child equally divided between.

"Family isn't something that's supposed to be static, or set. People marry in, divorce out. They're born, they die. It's always evolving, turning into something else."

"He who loses his mother loses a pure soul who blesses and guards him constantly."
