I have to look after my life, my kids, their school, their doctor, my house, my phone and electric bills.
We have this thing as human beings: we have a profound need for story. That's what kids need.
When you have kids, you start thinking about their future and you forget about yours.
I'm convinced that what kids need today are parents - not buddies. They need someone who will exercise mature judgment.
I think that kids need to be guided; they need to be disciplined, but in a way that's constructive, so that's what I try to do.
Kids are absolutely starved for positive adult contact.
Kids deserve arts, and it's just as important as science, math, history, English or athletics.
But iPods and iPhones are two things we don't get for our kids.
I just want to be there for my kids.
You have the most important job of anyone today. Our kids need you to advocate for their futures.
When kids can't come to my show, I feel bad, because grown-up 21 and up people really probably don't need my help as much as an 11-year-old child.
I'll tell you what the real problem is: These people are working under the assumption that they know better about what is good for kids, what kids need to learn to get ahead in this world.
Kids ought to have two bicycles, one to ride and one to rent.
Education is not Democrat versus Republican. It's about doing the right things for the right reason for our kids.
I'm sure at some point I will get back into coaching, but right now I need to focus completely on my kids.
For me, making schedules are critical to make sure we attend to all the needs of the kids and our family. After adding everyone's schedule on the calendar, I make sure that every day I have some sacred time for myself so I can recharge.
I'm not a big fan of young kids having Facebook. It's not something they need. It's not necessary.
Kids need to be structured in some way, but you don't want to force something down their throats that they have no interest in.
I think that every decision I made came from what's best for the kids. If both parents have the children's best interests in mind, it's going to go OK. The second that the parents don't do that, it gets ugly.
