What I've learned about being a parent is how much you sort of secretly learn from everyone else and how valuable it is.

I love being a dad, and I'm good at it. Kids teach you about life, like how not to focus on yourself so much.

I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything.

I think I had really good parents. I got really lucky. They said, 'You're a woman; enjoy yourself and believe that you can do things.'

I'm a good dad; I spend a lot of time with my kids.

There's nothing unique about me as a parent. I am a parent. My kids are kids. We do the best we can do.

I learned that life is about the people around you and the people you give back to. That's what parenting is: You're not there for yourself; you're there for your offspring and everyone else around you.

I've grown up a lot, I'm on my own, and I've learned some valuable life lessons.

I'm a parent, especially when you've had the intense parenting the way I had. It's all in the bank. It's all in the great experience bank. Those are your secrets. That's the stuff that makes your work rich, that's what you dip into.

Being a parent has taught me a lot of things already, you know, though it's only been a year and half, and has made me address parts of myself that I would otherwise live in comfortable denial of, or you know and - you know, for instance, my self-loathing.
