“When I say that I mean, honestly, Nicole, Nicole, do I have to say any more? And then Sofia, do I have to say any more?”

“So, there’s a moment in time when your parents start laughing when you have a kid,”. “I can’t wait to start laughing because it’s at that point now where I said, ‘You’re having a little girl, mm-hmm.’ ”

“I’m in Pop-Pop position. I look forward to my relationship [with her] because that’s the part I love the most. With all of my kids, I love my relationships; each has their own personality.” “My baby is having a baby. I’m so thrilled for Elliot and Sophia. They are just over the moon… I‘m Pop-pop. We don’t get the ‘grandpa,’ yeah, that’s a little deep. Pop-pop is where we’re going.”
