Hopefully the new breed of kids won't have to go through that hard lesson - my kids, my grandkids, my fans' kids, hopefully they won't have to go through it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's no longer good enough for us to tell kids who are different that it's gonna get better. We have to make it better now.
All our efforts to guard and guide our children may just get in the way of the one thing they need most from us: to be deeply loved yet left alone so they can try a new skill, new slang, new style, new flip-flops. So they can trip a few times, make mistakes, cross them out, try again, with no one keeping score.
Our children's children will hear a good story.
I hope everybody's had fun, because I've enjoyed my ride. I can tell you that. Now it's time to step aside and let some other young kid come in and win. Hopefully, they will, too.
I made my kids into Viking fans, so they will carry their misery with them, too. A little disappointment in life goes a long way.
I can't come on like a parent to these kids, if I do, I won't be able to have fun working with them. The good news is they all have parents. The younger ones, their parents by law have to be on set.
We have got to work on keeping these children engaged with the world.
Our children are not going to be just 'our children' - they are going to be other people's husbands and wives and the parents of our grandchildren.
I hope kids feel gratitude for what they do have.
I haven't got any kids yet and it is something I need to address. I'm sure that, God willing, that'll be the next and most fabulous episode of my little life.
