My respect for Chazz Palminteri just went up so many levels. It seems that he feels no amount of personal success can make up for being a lousy father.
Finally, a "star" who knows what life is supposed to be all about.
Yes, you should have a modicum of success for yourself, but your kids should be the first and foremost things in your life.
At least that's my opinion, and Chazz Palminteri feels the same way.
He told OK! Magazine, "In life – and people might disagree with me on this – but I feel if you’re a failure as a father, I think that’s hard to take, If you’re a success in all of your life but you’re a failure as a father, that’s a real big knock on you. Fatherhood has changed me,” he admits. “It’s made me more responsible.”
“It’s not just me I have to worry about. It’s not just me and my wife – it’s these kids that walk around and look at you and go ‘Daddy, what’s up? What’s going on dad? Are you going to pay for my college? Can I have a car? Can I have this? Can I have that?’ You can’t let them down.”
It's refreshing that his priorities are in order. Now if we can just get the rest of humankind to get them in-line and take care of their kids and be better parents, we'll all be good.
And yes, I know there are good parents out there, I'm generalizing.
