It was very difficult when I was trying to figure out how to have a marriage and babies and do this at the same time. There was no handbook. You were making it up as you went along.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Marriage - a book of which the first chapter is written in poetry and the remaining chapters in prose.
Speaking as a father, there is no rulebook, and you don't know how to do it. You just do the best you can.
This baby comes out of you and there's no handbook. They hand you this child and say, 'Don't kill it. Feed it, clothe it and shelter it.' I never knew what that kind of love was. I remember looking at my daughter for the first time and wondering if that's the way my father looked at me.
If you want to read about love and marriage, you've got to buy two separate books.
You're going to figure it out, as you go. I think that's how people feel about having children, as well. You're not going to learn how to do it until you do it.
A lot of books about marriage are about marriages falling apart.
I just read 'The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work.' To be married 25 years, you have to put as much energy as I put into being an actor or being a great football player into being a better husband and a better father.
I have to be a father first and a husband first.
I don't remember my first two marriages... the details are very sketchy.
It is interesting to break all the rules. I'm not married, I have a baby, and it feels infinitely more right.
