If you're extremely rich, and you have got children, my theory was, you give them enough so they can do anything, but not enough so they can do nothing.

The worst thing you can do to a child, and I've seen it happen so many times, is the silver spoon.

As a father now, I wouldn't do what my dad did, because it left me feeling emotionally unstable as a kid. But he didn't do the things he did out of selfishness or malice.

The fact my relationship with my son is so good makes me forgiving of my father and also appreciative.

That strong mother doesn't tell her cub, Son, stay weak so the wolves can get you. She says, Toughen up, this is reality we are living in.

If parents pass enthusiasm along to their children, they will leave them an estate of incalculable value.
