The thing about dads is, even when they're very good, they don't do anything like as much as most mums do.

I really enjoy being a dad, and maybe I took it too seriously, but I love being around my kids.

In my experience, it's all wonderful with girls until about 16. Around that time, boys kind of calm down and start focusing their testosterone. Girls get a little challenging, especially for fathers.

The most challenging part of being a dad is self-restraint. So often your instinct is to teach and tell. I am constantly reminding myself to listen to them.

I've seen women who don't have great relationships with their dads, and it all comes down to this: You have to tell girls you love them every day.

And I tell you, having girls has made me a much better man. I have friends who are fathers, but they only have boys, and they have the same attitude toward women they always had, you know? And I don't play that... My girls, you mess with them? I will bury you underground.

I try to parent equally, but I think little girls are a little more sensitive.

I'm just constantly trying to be a good dad.

The only thing I could be better at is to be around more. Other than that, I'm a great dad. I come to the soccer games and teach her stuff, go over her homework with her every night; we stay on the phone. I try to be as good as a dad as I can be.

I love exploring the relationship between fathers and daughters. I think that's a special thing, especially with daughters who are dealing with being adults.
