On the weekends, I do the usual parental things, going to the boys' football tournaments or getting out for a hike along the Great Wall.

I would ask my parents something, but then go to my siblings. We were encouraged to bounce ideas off everyone.

The water cooler conversation in every job I've had is sports, it's what did you do this weekend, it's 'How are your parents doing?'

I'm going to be in another city when my kids are teenagers. I'll be like, 'Give me a call when you're done with all that.'

I like to spend my time with my children.

Children often ask me, they say, 'Well, how do you become a fighter pilot, or how do you become an astronaut, or...?' And I say, 'Love what you're doing and do it very well.'

What interests me is what children go through while growing up.

Grilling outside with my parents at the Jersey shore. We would grill lobster and corn in the summer.

My children are the focal point of my life. I was asking for a little more time to spend with them.

I had the best of both worlds when I was a kid. I'd spend a quiet week with my mum, then I'd go to my dad's property in the Adelaide Hills, where there were all these kids and animals running around.
