I think daughters can change the perception of their fathers.

I think a dad has to make his daughter feel that he's genuinely interested in what she's going through.

From an early age, my father stressed the power of the image, and he encouraged me to carefully control my own. He advised me, for example, never to be photographed from below, an often unflattering angle for women.

Freud was the son of a Jewish merchant who had to move his whole family to Vienna because he couldn't get work. He, as a boy, had to watch his father be mocked and abused on the street for being Jewish... You develop a thick skin and you develop a certain kind of wit to defend yourself.

When you have a daughter, you want to protect her from the things that I've seen out there, you know, the things that's out there that ain't good for her. It's a crazy world we live in.

I don't know how consciously anyone looks for a father figure.

You're working on being a father, so that is something that when you experience it you'll understand the profundity of wanting to protect something dear to you.

To make the child in your own image is a capital crime, for your image is not worth repeating. The child knows this and you know it. Consequently you hate each other.

Just as the child is father to the man, so the impressions of one's youth remain the most vivid in manhood.
