"My first wife and I only had one child. It might have been nice
to have more. I would have liked a son, but we just had Carmen.
I see her as my best friend. I think she always comes to me first
if she has a problem. We have the same sense of humor and share
many interests, except that she's crazy about animals,
obsessed
with
them-she has always had dogs, cats, and horses in her life.
We were closest when she was about four, which I think is a wonderful age for a child. That's when they need their parents most. But as soon as Carmen to school, she seemed to best friend. grow up and grow apart from her family, and any father finds it difficult with a teenage daughter. She was very moody and had an odd group of friends. There was an endless stream of strange young men coming to our house. I remember I once got annoyed with her in front of her friends and she didn't talk to me for days.
I've always wanted the best for her. We sent her to a good school,
but she wasn't happy there. She left because she wanted to become
an actress, so with my connections I got her into drama school, but
she didn't like that either. She worked for a while doing small roles
in movies, but she must have found it boring because she gave it
up, though she never really said why. She got married a few years ago; her husband's a veterinarian. They must be happy because they work together, and she loves animals.
We have the same tastes in books and music. When she was
younger, I used to take her to the opera-that's my passion-but she can't have liked it very much because she hasn't come with me for
years. I don't think she goes to the movies or watches TV Much. She
might watch my movies, but I don't know. It's not the kind of thing she talks to me about.
I'm very pleased to have Carmen. She's a good daughter, but I
don't think she likes my new wife very much because she doesn't visit very often. I'm lookingforward to being a grandfather someday. I hope she'll have a son."
