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

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.

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

The one thing about being a parent is the ability to be selfless: To give up the things you want and need for the benefit of someone else.

A baby comes with such responsibility. Once you become a mother, you always have a guilt trip. You always try to do the best, but you feel you can always be better.

Becoming a parent is always going to be a default setting. I truly believe there will always be more people who want to have children than who don't.

I'm not sure what it means fully to be a parent.

Having a child is arguably the most important thing you do in life.

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