I'm lucky to attribute my success to the foundation my family gave me. I've always felt grounded in them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My mother and my father were very nurturing and wonderful examples of how to live your life. I really had a cool foundation.
The people that I surround myself with now and my family, they are the key to my success.
I didn't inherit any great success and the problems that came with it, and yet I was able to keep working and supporting myself and later a family. I'm crazy fortunate.
I am always touched when friends make contributions to my foundation on my behalf.
Fortunately, I grew up in a family that was grounded. My mother and father knew how to guide my career and look out for my best interests.
I support many organizations that I feel are doing the right thing, like Alonzo Mourning's foundation, Alicia Keys' foundation, the Make-a-Wish Foundation, and other well-established foundations. I kick out a lot of time and money wherever I can.
My foundation is based on helping children, and I hand-pick projects that are close to my heart and home.
Family to me is foundation. It's the people that you can call on whether you love them or hate them. When push comes to shove, they're there for you, and that's kind of how this family is.
I didn't have anybody, really, no foundation in life, so I had to make my own way. Always, from the start. I had to go out in the world and become strong, to discover my mission in life.
When I had made more money than I needed for myself and my family, I set up a foundation to promote the values and principles of a free and open society.
