I never want my kids to feel like I'm just some housewife who was just kicking it with my husband, because that's not the kind of woman that I am.

As a woman, especially when you have children, one gets so good at soldiering on - almost too good.

When you have children it completely shifts your focus; they become the most passionate love of your life.

Monogamy is a possibility - and a necessity. Kids have got to have something they can rely on. You have got to have something you rely on.

It gets to you as a father when your kids don't react to you in the way you imagine.

I'm not a great man to my children. I'm just 'Pop.' The more involved I am with my kids, it keeps my head flat on top.

Sometimes when you have children they're the opposites of you.

You're watching your kids playing football, and you're not present. It's like the worst... it's horrible. I despise myself for it. I think it's a particularly male thing. Being present and in the moment with your kids is something a lot of men struggle with.

When I first knew I was having children, I thought I wanted boys, but then I thought I'd be better with girls. I'm quite sensitive, and you get more cuddles with girls. And they like their dads.

I don't know if it's responsible for kids of my age to be so aggressively pursuing monogamous binds, because I don't think we're ready for them. The romanticism within our culture dictates that that's what you're supposed to be looking for.
