The dynamic of fathers and sons seems to be more around competition regarding things such as knowledge, accomplishments, expertise.

Some people found it difficult to understand my relationship with my father, but that may have been because they couldn't get beyond their relationship with their own parents.

For rarely are sons similar to their fathers: most are worse, and a few are better than their fathers.

Fathers in today's modern families can be so many things.

I love exploring the relationship between fathers and daughters. I think that's a special thing, especially with daughters who are dealing with being adults.

Some men don't have the opportunity to be the type of father they need to be, and I hope my example teaches them to step up.

Many very strong fathers have turned out ineffectual sons by not allowing them to grow as men.

Perhaps because my relationship with my father went through such a long, bumpy time, it's been very important for me to work to try to keep lines of communication open between my sons and myself to try to avoid my father's mistakes. At least if you're making mistakes, make different mistakes.

Every father and son have conflicts.
