I did not give my daughter the kind of childhood anybody would want. The vision of the divided loyalty between a mother and father who don't live together and don't share in decisions is a great depravation for children.

I think if my child died I would prefer it if I were dead.

You have to let individuals make their own choices and respect that, even if it's your own child. And that's what was taken away from me. My father passed away thinking I still had to go back to his way of believing.

You have doubtless heard, my dear mother, the misfortune of Madame de Chartres, whose child is born dead. But I would rather have even that, terrible as it is, than be as I am without hope of any children.

I want to give a child a life who wouldn't be given a life. I want a child that nobody else wants.

I never understood when people would say, 'I would die for my child,' but you become so selfless.

I would never have done what I'd done if I'd considered my father as somebody I wanted to please.

As a parent, I'd - I'd be a better father.
