PS: Both of you have successful careers that require a lot of your time. What are your tips for getting quality time with your kids when your time is a little bit more limited?
BG: I think you just have to make it your number one priority and mean it. Some people say, "My kids are the most important thing. My family is the most important thing," and then they spend 12 hours a day at the office. I think Willie's secret is that he gets up at 3 or 4 in the morning, and he somehow has the energy in the afternoon and evenings to be a good parent.
WG: It's not an easily replicated model, but as long as I've had kids, I've had this schedule. The silver lining to waking up in the middle of the night is that most nights I'm home before dinner with my kids, and I can give them a bath and read to them as they go to bed. I never take that for granted.
BG: The key to parenting then is getting up at 3 or 4 in the morning. I don't think anybody wants to hear that!
