Well, in order to become a grown man, in order to become significant in my family and significant in my children's life, I had to learn my lessons.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For me, becoming a man had a lot to do with learning communication, and I learned about that by acting.
I wanted to grow up to be just like my father.
I learned how to cook and do a lot of marital things.
The biggest impact my father had on my life was teaching the importance of literacy.
Whether it's being a leading man, making TV shows, being with my family, I've learned a lot.
The way my father raised me was really informative of how I think about my role as a female and how I view myself in a professional and personal capacity. So he encouraged me to set the bar very high for myself, to set great goals for myself.
My wife taught me the importance of living well.
Dad taught me everything I know. Unfortunately, he didn't teach me everything he knows.
I knew I wanted considerable education so that I wouldn't have to work as hard as my parents.
My childhood should have taught me lessons for my own fatherhood, but it didn't because parenting can only be learned by people who have no children.
