People say you don't need a father to be successful. I take offense to that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't want to look back and say, 'Yeah, I was really successful, but I failed at fatherhood because I wasn't there.'
When one has not had a good father, one must create one.
If I succeed in business but fail as a father, then I've failed.
I've been the type of father who tries desperately to be perfect but doesn't succeed all the time.
It is much easier to become a father than to be one.
Was I a successful father? Maybe not. Was I a successful husband? Probably not. Was I a successful actor? Probably not.
It is very difficult when you grow up without a father because you don't have a man who can give you direction and discipline.
Being a father is a huge responsibility but a satisfying one.
Not having a father is big. You need guidance. I know, personally, when my father died, I needed guidance; I needed somebody to show me how to be a man, how to grow up, basically how to do the right thing.
To be a successful father... there's one absolute rule: when you have a kid, don't look at it for the first two years.
