It's very important to be in your child's life and know what's going on and be there with them.

When anything is wrong with your child, your first instinct is to make it better.

One stops being a child when one realizes that telling one's trouble does not make it any better.

You can coddle your child and tell them, 'You're the best no matter what.' But in the end, when they go out into the real world, I think it's pretty tough out there and other children are cruel.

Having a child on the way changes your perspective. You want to do things that will make them proud of you.

What I do as best I can is out of a deep respect for children, for how difficult their world is.

Educate yourself. Understand what you're dealing with. Then figure out how to fight it. Then figure out how to raise money for that fight. It'll help you cope. It'll help your child.

I have been listening to people's advice. Being a parent, you need all the advice you can get.

We've got the children so we have to deal with each other because we have to deal with children's problems, you know, and our own problems. But some days it's fine, and then some days we just are at each other's throat.
