About This Quote

Interpretation
Stewart frames maturity as a practical education in intimacy and responsibility: time has made him more competent in the everyday work of family life. The emphasis on “definitely” suggests a hard-won self-assessment rather than a platitude, implying earlier periods when he felt less adept or less present. The quote also counters the stereotype of the perpetually youthful rock star by presenting growth as cumulative—patience, perspective, and steadier priorities improving one’s capacity to partner and parent. Its significance lies in treating fatherhood and marriage as skills that can be learned and refined, not fixed traits one either has or lacks.
