Fatherhood is wonderful.

Being a father can 'unreason' your worldview, or at least make it very flexible, and that can create all sorts of fun and insights. It's sad that children's open-eyed wonder and sense of play begin to fade as they approach adolescence. One grand function of fathering is to keep the fading to a minimum.

What I love most about fatherhood is the opportunity to be a part of the development process of a new life.

Fatherhood is a very natural thing; it's not something that shakes up my life but rather it enriches it.

I love fatherhood.

Fatherhood is great because you can ruin someone from scratch.

Fatherhood is everything I wanted it to be and more. It's an unbelievable experience.

The surprising thing about fatherhood was finding my inner mush. Now I want to share it with the world.

I don't claim to be a particularly good father. I'm flawed, let's say. I've certainly been affected by the experience of having kids... trying to be a father, at least. It's an amazing process. It's like songwriting: it's a complete mystery to me. I don't understand it - but I've certainly written about it.

Real fatherhood means love and commitment and sacrifice and a willingness to share responsibility and not walking away from one's children.
