What's it like being a dad? Celebrities share their thoughts and feelings about fatherhood
-
Colin Farrell 'I've never thought of my son as being someone with a disability. From day one I felt that he's the way he's meant to be. Some of the best things that happen to you in life are unplanned, and that's what Jimmy was. He was a gift. There's no embarrassment or heartbreak.’ (Daily Mail)

Brad Pitt ‘Fatherhood is the best thing I ever did. It changes your perspective. You can write a book, you can make a movie, you can paint a painting, but having kids is really the most extraordinary thing I have taken on.’ (Good Housekeeping)
(LUIGI COSTANTINI/AP) -
Tom Cruise ‘I’ll never forget the moment I became a dad. It’s hard to describe – that level of responsibility, the desire to give such joy. [And] the clarity: Nothing is more important than this.’ (Esquire)

Woody Harrelson ‘I think it’s the best thing going, parenthood.’ (Esquire)
(PETER POWER/THE GLOBE AND MAIL) -
Jim Carrey ‘Certainly there have been times in my life when I was so crazed with Hollywood and everything that was going on that I missed time with my daughter. So, I understand that and how important that is. ... We've certainly mended anything that was going on between us. We're closer than ever.’ (She Knows)

Elton John ‘[Being a father] is surprisingly very relaxing because this little soul that you are feeding, changing, bathing and that you’re telling bedtime stories to is a blank palette, a blank canvas and all it needs is love and nurturing.’ (Baby Center)
(DONNA SVENNEVIK/AP) -
Chris Rock ‘Every day I'm proud to be a dad. When you have kids, there's no such thing as quality time. There's just time. There's no, “Ooh, his graduation's better than going to the mall.” It's all kind of equal. Changing her diaper and her winning a contest – it's all good.’ (Good Housekeeping)
(MELISSA MOSELEY/AP) -
Hugh Jackman ‘From the moment we started the adoption process, all the anxiety went away. I don’t think of them as adopted – they’re our children. ... Deb and I are believers in, I suppose you could call it destiny. We feel things happened the way they are meant to. Obviously, biologically wasn’t the way we were meant to have children.’ (Herald Sun)

Ben Affleck ‘It's great, but don't do it if you're not ready. It's a full-time job, it's a lot of work. But kids make it worth the whole thing.’ (Oprah.com)
(CASEY RODGERS/AP) -
Chris Martin ‘Men should always change diapers. It's a very rewarding experience. It's mentally cleansing. It's like washing dishes, but imagine if the dishes were your kids, so you really love the dishes.’ (Good Housekeeping)
(JOHN WOODS FOR THE GLOBE AND MAIL) -
Orlando Bloom ‘My baby is amazing, even his head smells amazing. His breath, the whole thing, you could eat him!’ (Baby Center)
(MARK J. TERRILL/AP) -

(LUCY NICHOLSON/REUTERS) -

(DANNY MOLOSHOK/REUTERS) -
Jay-Z ‘I thought I would be more inspired to have all these new feelings to talk about [in the studio], but I really just want to hang out with my daughter. I want to enjoy this time for what it is.’ (Billboard)
