Four of my children are daughters, and I've watched them devote themselves to reading books about how little girls learn to become women - how they learn to deal with boys and men, and the different hurdles females have to go over.

I try to parent equally, but I think little girls are a little more sensitive.

I've made an effort to nurture the feminine in myself. I don't mean overtly, but in terms of response to things.

I think my kids give mommy more attention than they give me.

If there's one thing I've learned about women, which I try to pass on to my boys, it's listening. Listen to the other side of the story first.

My mum told me that the best thing you could give a woman was attention.

Attention. That's all girls want.

Wanting attention is genderless. It's human.

It takes a lot of work to be a great mother, a great daughter, and a great friend. All those things take effort, and I think, after having my daughter, she opened up this fearlessness within me, and I'm setting an example for her.
