There's something really magical about having a child - it's like permission to begin again, start over, reevaluate some things, check yourself. Recognize yourself.

I mean, being a child was being a child, was being a creature without power, without pocket money, without escape routes of any kind. So I didn't want to be a child.

I was not prepared to live as a single parent.

I don't think I was all that late in becoming a father.

I don't remember my life before I had children.

You become a parent when you have a baby, no matter how you get there.

Being pregnant was a lot like being a child again. There was always someone telling you what to do.
