Being a parent is about your survival. Surviving the terrible two's is the most important thing.

I'm not a parent, but it seems to me the nature of parenting is contingent, full of unexpected challenges - which is one of the wonderful and amazing things about it.

To be a successful father... there's one absolute rule: when you have a kid, don't look at it for the first two years.

I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything.

No matter what, it is very tricky and difficult just to be a good parent at all. I have a lot of help. And for that I'm very grateful.

That's the most important thing you do in your life - raise children and try to do the best job as a parent and give your kids the best shot in life to go out there into the big, bad world.

To me, having kids is the ultimate job in life. I want to be most successful at being a good father.

So, you know, parenting is a very intimate and amazing experience and one of the best experiences of my life.

I'm a parent, especially when you've had the intense parenting the way I had. It's all in the bank. It's all in the great experience bank. Those are your secrets. That's the stuff that makes your work rich, that's what you dip into.

I take parenting incredibly seriously. I want to be there for my kids and help them navigate the world, and develop skills, emotional intelligence, to enjoy life, and I'm lucky to be able to do that and have two healthy, normal boys.
