Being a father is a surprise for me every day.

I knew I wanted to be a father; I didn't know it was going to be this awesome or that my kid would come out so beautiful and lovely.

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

I was a really involved dad - not because I'm such a wonderful person. I like being a dad.

Being a father is just wonderful.

I feel more and more like 'myself' these days. Before becoming a father, I can remember a low-level feeling of somehow not quite being myself.

Being a father has been, without a doubt, my greatest source of achievement, pride and inspiration. Fatherhood has taught me about unconditional love, reinforced the importance of giving back and taught me how to be a better person.

Sometimes, because of my success, I am afraid that I was not a good father. With the first two I was too strong, and with the other three I was too weak.

I wasn't against becoming a dad: I'd had a good childhood, as childhoods go, and as role models, my imperfect parents were as good as or better than most.

I always wanted to be a father and thought it would be great, but it just took the right woman and the right time to make it all happen.
