When families observe a later, deeper stage of cult involvement they may find it necessary to consider the involvement of a professional such as myself in an intervention effort.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In a cult intervention information is presented about the group that the member is most often not aware of.
At one point in my life, I was very involved with social causes. I'm still involved, but now I have a family and it's important to me.
Philanthropy is in the DNA of my family.
You help families focus on the future through their children.
There are a few people who are, let's say, personality-challenged, who would like to set up a cult, but in large part they fail due to the innate stroppiness and independence of their fellow pagans.
When I was growing up, my parents were almost involved in various volunteer things. My dad was head of Planned Parenthood. And it was very controversial to be involved with that.
Having family responsibilities and concerns just has to make you a more understanding person.
I put a lot of time into making sure my relationship with my family is well taken care of because I want to be as successful as a father as I am as an entertainer.
My parents and grandparents have always been engaged in teaching or the medical profession or the priesthood, so I've sort of grown up with a sense of complicity in the lives of other people, so there's no virtue in that; it's the way one is raised.
I've become completely well adjusted to being a cult figure.
