You have to see, kid by kid, what their needs are and what kind of parent you need to be for them.

Every child needs to have for itself not only its loving parents and siblings and friends of its own age, but a grown-up friend.

This whole head of the home thing has been blown way out of proportion. Some guys just take it way too far. Some parents take it way too far. Yet children need guidance. They need a parent to help and guide them. They also need a friend. They need a confidant.

I don't think anybody feels like they're a good parent. Or if people think they're good parents, they ought to think again.

I try to keep a balance. I actually believe that children want normal parents, they don't want celebrities or important parents or anything different from all the other parents.

I don't care what anyone says, but all children prefer their parents to be together.

Kids need parents who love and support them unconditionally, full stop.

There's so much that can influence kids and young adults now, you just have to raise them the best you can and hope they make the right decisions.

Kids who enter 'adulthood' without any strong attachments to people who know and care about them have a rough road ahead, to say the least.
