Being a parent is not a reasonable thing. It is a very hard thing. I am a parent and I know.

Everybody always tells you what an awesome and unique experience being a parent is. Words can never do the feeling justice.

When you become a parent, you look at your parents differently. You look at being a child differently. It's an awakening, a revelation that you have.

If you're the parent, be a parent. You know what I mean? I'm a parent. I have daughters.

When you become a parent, you really care that you get that right, and you care about nothing else.

Being a parent is amazing.

You want to be a good parent and you want to be a friend, and it's hard to be both. You have to balance it as well as you can.

Becoming a parent gives you access to a whole world of feeling. It gives you a much stronger sense of life and death: becoming a father made me realise my own mortality.

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

No matter what, it is very tricky and difficult just to be a good parent at all. I have a lot of help. And for that I'm very grateful.
