Growing up with my family gave me some of my best memories. I’d like to have a family of my own - slip away for a bit and do nothing but spend those early years with my children.

Jenkins contrasts public life with private fulfillment, framing childhood family life as a formative source of happiness and stability. The quote expresses a desire to recreate that intimacy by prioritizing presence over productivity—“slip away” suggests stepping back from career demands, while “do nothing” emphasizes undistracted attention rather than idleness. It also reflects a common tension for performers whose work requires travel and visibility: the wish to control time and reclaim ordinary domestic rhythms. The focus on “early years” underscores how fleeting childhood is and implies a belief that parental closeness during that period is uniquely valuable and irreplaceable.
