I know for my wife and I, we always loved the idea of being young parents. It is an incredibly inspiring and challenging job being a parent, and as it turns out, being young really helps you keep up.

I was 20 when my daughter was born, and making all these plans during my wife's pregnancy. I was going to be the perfect father. Once she was born, it was suddenly, 'Oh, my God! I'm a parent!'

I always appreciated that connection between a parent and a kid because I yearned for it so much. Growing up, I wanted a father, and because I've had this idea of what a father should be, it's exciting to finally have the opportunity to try and be that guy, to see if I can actually do it.

I was raised by both parents up to 17. We had a good family. We had a middle class family, good teaching and good surroundings, raised by the church, where I went every week whether I wanted to or not.

What I've learned about being a parent is how much you sort of secretly learn from everyone else and how valuable it is.

I realized relatively early on that I had no desire to be a mother whatsoever. I actually love children, but specifically other people's.

I come from a massive family, and the youngest is twentysomething years younger than I am, so I grew up with children.

I just ultimately wanted to be a mother. I love children.

I feel that marrying younger and being quite a young dad helped me with the stability of my career.

I always knew I wanted to have children.
