Kids are the best thing about life, says Gwyneth Paltrow

Mum-of-two Gwyneth Paltrow feels that kids are the most important part of the family as they keep you grounded.

The actress credits her parents, actress Blythe Danner and director-producer Bruce Paltrow for imparting the value of family in her.

 "I was raised by people who were very focused on the family and the importance of family and the idea that that's where you get real richness in life and that success is great, but it's kind of an illusion," the Sun quoted her as saying.

"Real life is when your kid is at the table making a joke about their butt and you're laughing - that's the best thing about life, that human interaction and connection.

"So I think luckily because of my parents my priorities are there and I think that's how you sustain relationships," she added.
