On Monday, the Miami Vice alum, 73, spoke to PEOPLE about his love for his kids and the nature of his relationship with his daughter Dakota Johnson, 33. "We don't get involved in each other's worlds, we're father and daughter," says Johnson about the respect they have for each other's career space while at the Book Club: The Next Chapter premiere in New York City. "She's a professional I'm a professional," he adds. This also extends to the idea of handing out advice to each other — and Dakota's mom, Melanie Griffith, 65. "I don't know what she'd give me advice about at this point, but probably, 'Go away, Dad'!" Johnson jokes about their personal dynamic. On a more serious note, the Golden Globe winner says his favorite escape at the end of a busy day is being with his kids.
