It's true; once you are a father, there's no turning back. Your heart strings as well as your purse strings are never again the same.

When you have children, that's your main focus.

I would not be a good mother. I mean, I love being an aunt to my niece and nephew. And I used to want to, like, adopt 10 kids - because I had friends who were adopted, and I thought that was the coolest thing, to be chosen. But again, my job is too selfish.

You bring children into the world. You love them with heart and soul.
