Sidney Poitier

Sidney and Jamie share more than being Oscar® winners. They're both fathers!

Jamie: [You have] six daughters.
Sidney: Six daughters, yes!
Jamie: How is that? I know I have one daughter and it's driving me crazy. She's about to be 13 and it's, you know, I'm thinking about that. How do you raise six daughters?
Sidney: My father said to me and to my four brothers, "Always remember that the measure of man is how well he takes care of his children."
Jamie: Do you have any advice?
Sidney: You say what you feel you must say. As long as it's protective, she'll know that. And as long as it is in her best interest, she'll know that as well. Just talk it through. Always talk it through.
