I don't even know how to speak up for myself, because I don't really have a father who would give me the confidence or advice. And if you're always the new kid, you never get a chance to adapt, so your confidence is just zilch.

I need to start caring about myself if I'm going to be a proper father.

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.

I've been the type of father who tries desperately to be perfect but doesn't succeed all the time.

I have derived enormous confidence from being a husband and father.

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.

I did not have a father. It was my mom who chose to be alone. She felt that she would be better off by herself with me after I was born.

I will not say anything about my father. Period. I don't have a dad.
