Anyone who reads my work will see that there are often difficult relationships between fathers and sons.

Sometimes the father feels pushed out because of the connection between the mother and the child.

Sometimes in someone's gestures you can notice how a parent is somehow inhabiting that person without there being any awareness of that. Sometimes you can look at your hand and see your father.

Before I had a son, I used to look at my father's example: he left me, he left my mother. When I had a son, I got caught in the same situation that his mother don't want me to see him. I started looking at my father in a different light.

Fathers, yours is an eternal calling from which you are never released.

When you're a father, you know exactly where your heart really is. There's no question of it, no doubt. That part of your life has no second guessing.

It gets to you as a father when your kids don't react to you in the way you imagine.

One way of reading my life is that I have been in constant search for a father.

Fathers in today's modern families can be so many things.

I'm estranged from my father and that relationship, as a young man, is incredibly important. It's probably responsible for the man I've become.
