Actor Bruce Willis on Fatherhood

Actor Bruce Willis, star of the films Pulp Fiction, The Sixth Sense, and Armageddon lived life as a brash, ambitious party-goer and womanizer. He says:

I drank a lot…I took drugs…it wasn't until I had a kid that I realized it was my job and my wife's job to teach our children the difference between right and wrong. Every man knows there is a line between good and bad and that, unless you're a sociopath, you know where that line is. That means honesty, kindness, trying to help people, not hating, and teaching that to my children. My life's a work in progress—that's how I view it. All I've learned in 46 years is that I want to live my life as a good man and a good father.
