The whole “nepo babies” discourse has been raging for a couple of years now.
You’ve gotta have a thick skin.
There’s so much rejection and nasty things that can be said about you.
It’s not all celebration.
These kids have grown up watching on set with Reese [Witherspoon] or with me.
It seems natural, I think."
“The apple doesn’t fall from far from the tree' is a very old expression.
I like what [college football coach] Deion Sanders says about it.
When he works with his kids, he says, ‘Have you seen them play?'”
3.Meg Ryan, the mother of actor Jack Quaid, toldGlamour, “Jack is really talented.
He’s more of a natural than I’ll ever be.
She realized he was a talented actor at an early age.
I was newly divorced from his dad, and he was seated at the other side of the gym.
I had my head in my hands and was like, ‘Oh,no.
I just knew.”
But there’s nothing wrong with doing or wanting to do what your parents do.
I think it’s kind of an ugly moniker.
We were working together, was how we were raised.
So, for me, that’s how I wanted to raise my kids."
I didn’t give her nothing."
“Will didn’t give her nothing,” he added.

She also said, “It is the nature of the beast…They get your gene.
And when they get your gene and it works, what’s wrong with that?”
‘Nepo babies,’ just the expression is awful.
Doors open for these ‘children of,’ but they are not always the right doors.”

My daughter, I have seen her work for eight years.
She is a hard worker like you rarely see.
She works hard on her roles and her auditions.
My daughter is one of them."
It doesn’t matter what your name is.
It doesn’t matter who your parents are.
It doesn’t matter.
Your talent has to stand on its own, or it’s not going to happen.
It’s such a hard industry to break into that if you have a connection, use it.
You’re not good enough.
It’s too hard.
Go find something else.'"
She continued, “In my case, my two older kids are very talented.
They barely tell people that I’m involved with them, and they get jobs on their own.”
