Being a parent is the hardest thing in the world... the psychological toll it takes on you because these lives are in your hands. I take it very seriously.

Being a parent is not a reasonable thing. It is a very hard thing. I am a parent and I know.

Being a parent can make you a horrible person at times, because you're pushed to the limit constantly.

When you become a parent, you really care that you get that right, and you care about nothing else.

Getting older and having kids, you learn how to become less serious about it all.

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

When you are seventeen you aren't really serious.

When you become a parent, that's a whole new level of life intruding. Nobody tells you how boring and time-sucking it's going to be! Or how the responsibility feels like an airbag going off in your life.

I think I'm actually built for fatherhood. I love to have a good time and play, but at the same time I've got a really serious side to me, and I think that's the balance you have to have. Get on your kids' level, but at any point in time, let them know who the parent is.
