I like to be very simple in my lifestyle. My only extravagance is... I buy lots of toys and meats for my dog.

Puritanical attempts to cure society by taking toys away from children are hypocritical and futile.

Peter was 2 years and 10 months old when we began to study him. He was afraid of a white rat, and this fear extended to a rabbit, a fur coat, a feather, cotton wool, etc., but not to wooden blocks and similar toys.

In our family, my brothers and I shared toys. In other words, just because it was mine didn't mean my brothers and I didn't play with it.

Once upon a time, soft toys were for babies. Now they're taken for granted as a feature of adult life.

If you put a baseball and other toys in front of a baby, he'll pick up a baseball in preference to the others.

Like my father, I would never as a child throw anything away, keeping old toys, electric motors and bits of broken machines under my bed in what I called my Box of Useful Things.

I was one of those kids who took apart their toys to see how they work, just to see what they were made up of.

'Star Wars' was everything for me. As a little kid, you get to see the movies only once or twice, but playing with the toys in your backyard, that's where you're first telling stories in your head.

My mom told me I never had enough Tonka toys when I was growing up.

I have gone above and beyond to care for my child, including an agreed upon monthly stipend, a house, a car, insurance, school and other essentials for the baby and his mother as well as many other things, including toys and clothing.

As children, we did not have toys. We invented characters and animals; we invented stories.

I'm pretty skeptical about a lot of the toys on the market, especially for young kids. Most of them just add these new technologies just to make more flashing lights.

I've got a quad bike, which I've raced against neighbours. You could give me a go-kart with a lawnmower engine - I'd still have fun. I like jet skis, speedboats, all the boys' toys.

Toys are put on this Earth to be played with by a child.

My idea of a traditional holiday - the right way to do it - goes back to the days when gift-giving meant sharing homemade things: hand-knit sweaters, carved wooden toys, smoked meats and the like.

I was not so lucky to grow up with toys as I grew up in a remote area of Kenya.

As a kid, I wasn't allowed to have girl toys, but I would take my cousin's My Little Pony and smell it. That weird, synthetic, fruity-sweet smell - that's how I wanted to look. I wanted to look like this fabricated toy. I wanted to look like you could pull a string on my back, and I would say, like, six catchphrases.

I am a closet toy freak. I started chasing after some things as far as Star Wars toys - some very rare stuff.

The other day, I noticed I'd arranged my spices in alphabetical order when I was on the phone, without even realizing, and when I was a kid I was constantly cleaning and organizing things - my toys, my sister's cosmetics.
