It's amazing. My kids have grown me in ways I never knew possible. The patience I've received and the love I get from them is just amazing. ↗

It seems to me that since I've had children, I've grown richer and deeper. They may have slowed down my writing for a while, but when I did write, I had more of a self to speak from. ↗

- Why are you drinking? - the little prince asked. - In order to forget - replied the drunkard. - To forget what? - enquired the little prince, who was already feeling sorry for him. - To forget that I am ashamed - the drunkard confessed, hanging his head. - Ashamed of what? - asked the little prince who wanted to help him. - Ashamed of drinking! - concluded the drunkard, withdrawing into total silence. And the little prince went away, puzzled. 'Grown-ups really are very, very odd', he said to himself as he continued his journey. ↗

I have grown up alone. I've taken care of myself. I worked, earned money and was independent at 18. ↗

I often say television is not a job for grown men. You go to a set, they pick out your clothes for you, they tell you where to stand, what to say, and your chair has your name on it in case you can't find a place to sit. ↗
