I've worked too hard all my life to have my kids control my life.

Kids don't come with an instruction manual. So if you're gonna make mistakes, at least make them your own way.

I tell my kids, 'I'm your father, not your friend - but I'm also the best friend you're ever going to have because no one is going to care for you the way I care about you.'

Moms and daughters can negotiate over anything, and they can go on longer than it took to settle the Vietnam War.

As far as my own life goes, I don't buy into the Hollywood scene.

If it's time for your character to go, it's time for your character to go - you know what I mean? That's it. It doesn't matter who you are.

With girls, there's an insecurity that starts early on. It hangs around them, like some annoying kid from down the block who won't take the hint and go home when dinnertime comes. And moms are usually not great at giving their daughters confidence.
