“I’m so excited. I’m so fucking excited. It’s the most amazing thing that’s ever happened to me. There’s nothing more important in the world than bringing a life into it. I mean, the world’s a crazy fucking place, but it’s also such a fucking beautiful place. The world is infinitely beautiful. And you just hope your child sees less of the other side of that coin. I see shit everywhere I fucking look—I see people being nasty, I see bullies, I see death—but everywhere I look, I also see beauty and I see generosity. And I want my boy—it’s going to be a boy—to see those things. I guess you want him to see them both, sure, to see the good and the bad, but then you want for him to choose good. I don’t know. I’m really excited about it, man. I’m not with her—we’re not together—but she’s an amazing fucking woman, man. Her name’s Kim. We’re going to be fucking mates, and we’re going to respect and love each other and just raise the child in love. That sounds ideal to the point of idiocy, I know, but it’s not impossible. I’ve seen families—the ‘ideal’ nucleus of what a family should be—fall to shit, disintegrate, and the kids be damaged. So I don’t see why the blessed situation that Kim and I find ourselves in—which might not seem ideal to others, though I can’t see how that matters a fuck—I can’t see why it can’t be the most beautiful, perfect thing. I’m having a boy. I’m having a little dude. And I cannot fucking wait. I’m really not that nervous at all—except about when I’m not going to be there, when I’m going to be sitting on a fucking horse in Marrakech shouting, ‘I am Alexander!’ and I’m going to want to be with him instead. And I know that’s going to break my heart.”

Colin Farrell (2003)
