Quotes:
"I was eight months pregnant and every night he ended his show with a song called "Ride". Ryder would go insane in my stomach every time and it had to be the bass line. It?s kind of a funk song. I made a joke and said, ?Wouldn?t it be funny if we called him Ride.? We?re Grateful Dead fans and ?I Know You Rider? is one of our favorite songs. I just went, ?Ryder,? that sounds great and it feels like him." - Kate on coming up with her first born's name.
"I do remember being rolled out of the surgery room right after I had him and I looked up at my Pa and I said, ?Did you meet Ryder Russell?,? because it was the first time he heard his name. That was a great moment for me and for him." - Kate paying homage to her step-father (Pa) Kurt Russell.
"He loves to sing. He loves to dance. You get a guitar on him, and he's mimicking a real guitar player. Ryder dances to the beat of his own drum already." - Kate on the musical inclinations of her then 5-year-old son.
"Am I going to look back and say, ?God, I wish I could have gone to that concert?? I?d rather be listening to my son sing songs. I?d rather be watching him sleep." - Kate on giving up her active social life for her son.
