I didn't have any expectations of what my family life would end up being like. But I've been very blessed in my life to have a wife who loves me and supports me and is able to be in my band and travel with me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are no expectations other than those I place on myself to be a great father and husband.
My immediate family was always very supportive. It was my own fear of the rest of the world not accepting me, the rest of our society not accepting my wish to be an actor.
For a while, I thought the great disappointment of my life was that I don't have a family of my own. Then it dawned on me: That's not what I think; that's what married people think.
Sometimes it makes me sad that I didn't get to have one family for my entire life.
In hindsight, I see the great value of family and how it moulded my life and kept me together. So now family means everything to me.
I went through my whole life wanting to feel I belonged. I was very, very lonely, so I would marry people that I wasn't really in love with, and who weren't right for me, because I hoped they would be.
Family was real important in putting me on my path. I'm so blessed to come from a home with a mother and a father.
I didn't feel I belonged in so perfect a family.
I had such high expectations of myself. I was going to be the best mother, the best housewife, the best entertainer, the best nurse, you know - what it was, I was going to be the best. And I could never live up to my expectations.
It wasn't just OK to achieve in my family - it was expected.
