I want to be more successful as a mother than I am in show business.

'I am a bad mother.' Every Christmas, this is what I think because the holiday season fills me with such anxiety. I'm sure that other mothers are happily baking cookies, decorating trees, and finding perfect gifts for everyone.

For now I'm just enjoying being a mom. I don't want to be more famous and more rich. I want to be a good mom.

Every mother I've ever met, pretty much without exception, is doing the best job she can ever do.

I was not a classic mother. But my kids were never palmed off to boarding school. So, I didn't bake cookies. You can buy cookies, but you can't buy love.

I always tried to do things by example, even though I was not a very good mother regarding routines and family life.

I used to say, 'Man, I think I'd be a really good dad. I'll be a great provider. I'm funny; I'll go on trips with them - I'll do all sorts of stuff.' But the momming? I'm not made for that. I have a really good mom; I know what she put into it.

Ask Mother for advice on breaking into show business.

I was fortunate enough to have my kids early, so being a mom always ended up being a better gig than these other parts that came along. So I always justified not really working a lot because I had a family.

I have a wife who's a great mom.
