Dad was a very gentle, sweet man.

I think Dad didn't really treat us like children; he treated us more like little adults. We were good kids.

My dad was never married. He was kind of a rolling stone. But he was never disrespectful. At the same time, even though he had women in his life when I was a kid, there wasn't any consistency.

I think my father couldn't wait to get home to his wife, but I don't know if he was so keen on us children.

Once I got married and had kids, I moved away from romantic roles, because it seemed wrong to have my three-year-old wondering why Daddy was kissing someone else.

Especially when you've become the father of two daughters, you hope the world can be a more gentle place.

I think my husband and dad were both very happy that I had a baby boy, to get some testosterone in the family, because there are a lot of girls. It's not a perfect family, but it's a strong family. The nice thing is how the different ages interact.

I never wanted children. If I'd been deeply in love with a man and he'd wanted children, it would have been difficult.

All of our sons and daughters ought to have the same opportunity to experience the joy and stability of marriage.

I'm told I'm like my father, and he was the most wonderful man. But I think he was gentler than me.
