Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.

I've never had an empty house. Ever.

I met my wife, I had no money, I had nothing, and I started my family without really, my career was nowhere, but I had these other businesses, I had these things I was doing to be able to afford a small home.

My grandparents went through a bad experience themselves; they invested money in a church and got burned - the pastor had his own agenda - and my grandfather lost interest in the church after that. That was when I had the option to not go. 'Grandpa ain't going; I'm gonna stay with Grandpa.'

It always made me sad that there were kids who didn't have homes.

I have my family; I'm never alone.

I know plenty of people who don't have children. And I also get a lot of people who say, 'Thank you for speaking out; my family don't understand why I don't want kids.'

I grew up with a family that had very little and were at times homeless.

I don't have that many family and friends.

I have no family to take care of and no children to pass wealth to.
