As a parent, I'd - I'd be a better father.

Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.

Being a father is just wonderful.

I'm a father myself for the first time in my life, and I had very very loving parents.

I have no doubt that I'd be a marvelous father. Maybe not when they're tiny, but when they're a little bit older, I think I'd be rather good.

Becoming a father increases your capacity for love and your level of patience. It opens up another door in a person - a door which you may not even have known was there. That's what I feel with my son. There's suddenly another level of love that expands. My son is my greatest joy, out of everything in my life.

I'm told I'm like my father, and he was the most wonderful man. But I think he was gentler than me.

For years before I became a father, I would try to spend as much time as I could with my friends who were parents and their kids. And I was really impressed. They all sort of managed to do it, and do it gracefully.

My father is my father, and I am me. I have the advantage of this honest comparison, quiet, and the opportunity to share in his profession.
