I've never been a hands-on dad. I'm not ashamed to admit it, but you can't run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4:30 and bath and change nappies.

I think a generation ago, dads went to work, they came home, and they had their dinner, had a drink, and then went to bed. I don't know what it was like in your house, but that is how it was in mine. I think it is cool to have the dads in the trenches and doing the real parenting work.

For my kids, it's just weird to see your dad pretend to be someone else. It's weird to see your father make out with another woman. It's not cool.

When I'm home, I've got the kind of time that other dads who live there full time don't have. I can go and have lunch with my kids at school and that sort of thing.

I get to have Sunday lunch at my mum's, pick my nephew up from school now and then: it's a very normal life.

When I'm home, I'm Daddy, and everything is completely normal.

I'm a dad and a husband, and so the things that I love to do are all geared around my family.

When I'm home, I'm just mom. We're a normal, regular family doing normal, regular types of things.

My son spends as much time with his dad as he does with me.

I think everyone thinks their dad is a little bit odd or crazy. As they get older, they develop their own little habits. They have a certain way that they like to live their life, and nothing is going to interrupt that.
