A Quote by Bruce Willis

Who I am as a father is far more important to me than the public perception. — © Bruce Willis
Who I am as a father is far more important to me than the public perception.
My sister is a public school teacher. She makes far far less money than I do, and gets almost no public attention for her work. Yet I believe what she does is infinitely more important and more difficult than what I do.
The idea of public service was instilled in me by watching my father, who shared that he was far more fulfilled in his public service than by his former lucrative corporate jobs.
What is more important, the reality or the perception? I am perceived to be an important designer. It's enough for me.
But anonymity is very important to me, and I don't want to be recognized in public more than I already am.
My father is always with me. But moving forward and making my father more proud of me is very important. Taking care of my family, as my father did, is even more important.
I am devoted to my two children, who are far and away more important to me than anything.
I don't really understand what the public perception of me is. I think public perception and reality are two wholly different things.
In every war zone that I've been in, there has been a reality and then there has been the public perception of why the war was being fought. In every crisis, the issues have been far more complex than the public has been allowed to know.
Extras changed the public's perception of me hugely - they saw there was more to me than just this bloke off the telly.
The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company . . . a church . . . a home.
The perception that I was just a pop star was pushed upon me by the public, and it's very hard to change the public's perception even though I never really pushed aside the musician aspect of my career. After I released 'Fingerprints,' my peers reassured me that I was on a level that I always hoped I would be on.
Don't misunderstand me. I am not scoffing at goodness, which is far more difficult to explain than evil, and far more complicated. But sometimes it's hard to put up with.
My son is 7 years old. I am 54. It has taken me a great many years to reach that age. I am more respected in the community, I am stronger, I am more intelligent and I think I am better than he is. I don't want to be a pal, I want to be a father.
The IMPP work was already very important. The recent AOL action might reinforce public perception that a standard is needed, but I think the public already realized this.
The perspective is more important than the perception
There is far more to transitioning in the public eye than money, public relations, and logistics.
