Like a good parent can't also be his child's best friend, a leader with authority requires some separation from subordinates.

You want to be a good parent and you want to be a friend, and it's hard to be both. You have to balance it as well as you can.

It's lovely being a parent and being in a strong marriage with somebody who is your best friend.

My best friend is me, and I take good care of me.

You have to be the parent; you can't be their friend.

The best thing I probably do is - I'll say I'm a pretty darn good parent. I got good kids.
