Bad parents are the best parents because they give you adversity. Children are kind of like magicians psychologically because when you're a child, you're weak and you have to deal with your own weakness and your own vulnerabilities.

The compensation often leads to children becoming great artists, great political figures, great actors.

"Gli uomini non parlano mai tra loro, nemmeno quando diventano padri e le loro emozioni li travolgono lasciandoli come mosconi alla deriva. Anche i miei amici maschi, diventati papà molti anni prima di me, sono stati omertosi. Hanno lesinato con le descrizioni e con le esperienze personali.
