When your kids accomplish something it means much more than anything you've done.
Our daughters have always been a credit to us. And I am so proud of them.
The highest compliment I could ever receive about my kids - and I can say that this does happen frequently - is when the in-flight crew say to me, 'Your children are wonderful. They are so well-behaved.' Every time I am told that, I could weep.
I am just happy that I have children. I don't care what they want to do!
Pride is one of the seven deadly sins; but it cannot be the pride of a mother in her children, for that is a compound of two cardinal virtues - faith and hope.
The acknowledgement of my family members be it my daughter or my son means a lot to me.
People say how unbelievable and enjoyable this whole thing must be. But watching your children play quarterback, putting themselves on the line every game, getting smacked around and bloodied up... it's very, very hard.
I just think everything my kids do is fabulous.
These movies are like my kids. I just love them to death. Some of them go to Harvard and some of them can barely graduate high school.
I've never gotten up to see something one of my kids wanted to show me and not been rewarded.
Look, I've got incredible pride for my family. I've absolutely fallen into that cliche of a dad who could just happily talk about my daughter endlessly.
If I feel like I've done a great job during an interview with the president of the United States live in the Oval Office, it doesn't give me a tenth of the good feeling of going to the school play and making eye contact with my kids as they're onstage delivering their lines. Nothing compares with that moment of connection.
I've definitely done something that's made my mum and dad forever proud.
