Here's the exclusive interview!! Greta Van Susteren Hosts Larry Birkhead the father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead for "On the Record."
VAN SUSTEREN: Did you love Anna Nicole?
BIRKHEAD: Yes. I sure did. I still do, but you know, it's, like, (INAUDIBLE) you know? And I think probably, for her, in looking back, I might have loved her too much because maybe that scared her because she was — you know, she always had these people buzzing around her. She didn't know what they wanted or what they were all about. And something about us, even if we fought or — you know, we always made our way back to where, you know, we would get along again.
VAN SUSTEREN: What are you going to tell her when she gets older? Have you thought about that? Because this is a rather extraordinary start to a life.
BIRKHEAD: I thought about it. I'm more concerned about what she is going to hear from things that I don't tell her that's captured on video and court hearings, transcripts, and even things I had to participate in for the fight, things that I said that they were truthful, but—do we really have to go there? Did it have to come to that? That whole Florida thing did we have to go there and say this stuff and that stuff? And what was I even doing there?
VAN SUSTEREN: How about Anna Nicole's drug use? Have you have thought about that?
BIRKHEAD: No. I have thought about that. And I think I'm just going—it's probably going to make me more—it's probably going to make me more overprotective. It's tough.
VAN SUSTEREN: How old is she now?
BIRKHEAD: She will be 9 months tomorrow.
VAN SUSTEREN: Any surprises about fatherhood? This is your first?
BIRKHEAD: Yes. Surprises? The hours.
VAN SUSTEREN: The hours. What kind of hours are there?
BIRKHEAD: Long hours.
VAN SUSTEREN: 24-7?
BIRKHEAD: Well, for the most part. I mean, I have some help helping me. But if she needs me, I'm there, I'm available 24 hours for her. But she is a great baby. She is happy.
VAN SUSTEREN: How fun is it to wake her and have her smile at you?
BIRKHEAD: I love her in the morning. She is a really happy baby. Whenever she wakes up, she is always—she is just in a great mood. And she loves attention, she loves pulling on my hair, and she likes to beat me up sometimes..
VAN SUSTEREN: Was it the worth the fight for her?
BIRKHEAD: Yes. Yes. She is my little princess
