Children make you a better everything. Daughters open up a whole different sensibility to you. When you have children, it focuses you on them as opposed to on yourself.
Children need parameters, know what's right or wrong.
I've had my moments of insanity. But there is a certain responsibility to set proper examples for your children, and that influences your choices in every aspect of your life.

It's impossible for everybody to be in sync, even the most proper family.
It's looking to the end of an era it's about having to leave the thing you most cherish. It's a celebration of a culture that I hold very dear.
I've known Ellen for years. I think she's a great actress.
