As a parent, I want my kids to have an optimistic outlook, and one that has hope, and that makes sense, where good does triumph over evil and it's not cynical, and it's not snarky.

Particularly at the moment, it's an incredibly optimistic thing to bring children into the world.

I do think children come in wired a certain way. Why else would I be filled with hope and optimism? You just could not keep me down for very long. You can call it grace or a gift from God, but I do think I came in with it.

If you're not being pessimistic, you're not being very realistic. But I think one must always have hope, and when you have children, of course, you have no choice but to work your tail off to try and protect the future for your children. And that is infused by hope in the end.

You bring your children onto this earth thinking, 'Okay, I want to make sure that by that time, I'm gonna be good and that they'll be okay.' But it's like, every day we're worried, 'Are we gonna be good?' Things change constantly, so you just gotta push, and you gotta work to the core.

Grownups have a tendency to talk themselves out of things, saying it will never work, but kids are fabulously optimistic.

Raising children is an uncertain thing; success is reached only after a life of battle and worry.

I tell kids to have dreams, have goals, and believe in them because if you have any doubt, worry or fear, it will choke the life out of your dreams and goals.

I'm an optimistic guy. I'm one of those big dreamers. I'm one of those kids with that annoying imagination.

Allow children to be happy in their own way, for what better way will they find?
