One of the scary things is that, when you're a kid, you look at your dad as the man who has no fear. When you're an adult, you realize your father had fear, and that you have it, too.

Being a parent is not for the faint of heart. I may joke about knowing fear, but the fact is, the first time I ever knew real fear was the day Charlotte, my first child, was born. Suddenly there is someone in the world you care about more than anything.

I've always wanted to be a dad.

I grew up being terrified of my parents, particularly my father figures.

I'd love to be a dad. I hope I'd be great at it. That's every man's fear, yet his most important job.

I think you need something to take care of in order to figure out who you are as a person, and in that way, being a dad has levelled me out more than anything. You've just got to be good for that person no matter what's going on in your head that day.

There is nothing like becoming a mom to fill you with fear.
