But the truth is I wanted to have my daughter for so long. It's not the kind of thing you can visit, motherhood. Especially in the early years. Now she's eight, and I'm still not going to go anywhere.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've made decisions along the way so I would be there for my kids, and it's kept me from going places I would have gone.
Having children is life-changing, to state the obvious. It's a gigantic shift in your life and I welcomed it.
Seeing my daughter for the first time after I came back from the tour was just a life-changing experience... it still blows my mind.
I wanted to travel with my dad to be close to him again. Having babies and raising my own family took so much of my time, I didn't have a chance to be with him very often.
Fatherhood is everything I wanted it to be and more. It's an unbelievable experience.
I'm not a big fan of doing what my mother wants me to do, like any daughter.
I just ultimately wanted to be a mother. I love children.
Parenthood is a very, very intense experience.
I had a daughter who was 9 years old and I had the feeling I wasn't going to be a real parent if I didn't quit making movies for a while and spend time with her. I also felt that I'd made enough movies and said what I had to say at the time.
I've brought my daughters all over the world-they travel with me. I drag them out of school just to keep the relationship. When I'm home I'm a big-time daddy.
