Reflections on Fatherhood and Love

Becoming a father is, without question, the most important, profound thing

that's ever happened to me and will be the most important role I

play.

I did say that.

You did say that to AP Entertainment. It's, it's the most difficult thing,

right?

But the most-

Yeah

... rewarding, right?

Yeah. It's, it's, it's also, like,

I feel it's just... I've felt it almost instantaneously.

Um,

it was just the profound privilege and honor of being

somebody's father.

Mm.

I think of my dad

and everything I learned from him and everything he taught me and everyth-

and

every thi- e- all the ways

th- that he lived, actually. You realize this when you get older.

That, that sometimes it's just the way he was

and, and the showing up-

Mm

... and, and the being there and how important that is.

Yeah.

And all you wanna do is, is be that for your own children.

Yeah.

Um,

is to be a, to introduce them to the world and,

you know, it's our, it's our privilege to l- to, to begin,

uh, you know, with any luck, we won't be here

for the end of their lives, but we're here for the beginning.

Yeah.

Uh, as in if things happen the right way

around.

Yes. Yeah.

And you, and you... And it's, and it's our,

it's our responsibility to sort of set

them up so that they can, they can have happy and meaningful

lives. And-

Yeah

... I also just wasn't prepared for the depth

of the love I feel.

It's, it's-

I know. It's a bit-- It's, it's a lot, isn't it?

It opens your h- it opens your chest in, in-

Yeah

... in a different way. Yeah.

Uh, no, it's incredible.

An-as, uh, another kind of love. A love like no other, I should say.
