I did not have a father. It was my mom who chose to be alone. She felt that she would be better off by herself with me after I was born.

I didn't have a father when I was growing up, and I vowed to be there with my kids.

I was just a kid and I didn't have a dad. That's hard, because when you're a kid, you blame yourself for everything. And I blamed myself for him not being around, for my parents not being together.

I think my father was somewhat disappointed in not having had a son, and in that way I was the nearest thing he had.

Some men don't have the opportunity to be the type of father they need to be, and I hope my example teaches them to step up.

Those who have never had a father can at any rate never know the sweets of losing one. To most men the death of his father is a new lease of life.

It is very difficult when you grow up without a father because you don't have a man who can give you direction and discipline.

If I could change anything, I would definitely have had a father around. My father. I would definitely say it affected me deeply as a young man, coming up. Who doesn't want a father? Those are the beginnings, and those are what can dictate the roads you choose in life, and choosing them well.
