Once you have kids, you think like a parent. You get a lot more protective.

I understand what it is for a woman to want to protect their children and give them the best they can.

I'm old-school English, so I suppose I'm quite protective - especially of time. Now that I'm a father, every moment is precious.

I think when you are an only child, parents are more protective and fearful because they've only got one of you. I was not allowed to do a lot of things that, if I'd been, say, number three, I would have.

I have two children who are daughters, so female issues have always registered high on my scale of awareness.

Being a mother is no longer a liability, and being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition!

When men talk about defense, they always claim to be protecting women and children, but they never ask the women and children what they think.

Mothers and daughters generally have fairly complex relationships, and ours was made much more so by Mother's illness. She had Parkinson's disease, which was not diagnosed for a long time... All that made me very self-protective, because for one thing, I didn't want to get trapped.

Women should come forward to protect other woman, as only a woman can understand the problems of another one.

Women just weren't made to bear children to give them away.
