Even when my parents were together, they both had to travel and work, and it wasn't like they had nine-to-five jobs. In that way, it wasn't a normal family life. We'd go and stay for a few weeks with Dad on tour and bring a tutor with us.

I had no expectations about fatherhood, really, but it's definitely a journey I'm glad to be taking. Number one, it's a great learning experience. When my mother told me it's a 24/7 job, she wasn't kidding.

Being a dad is the best thing that ever happened to me. It changed my life entirely.

I was a really involved dad - not because I'm such a wonderful person. I like being a dad.

Sadly, my father died before I graduated, so he didn't see any of the success at all.

I went to Brooklyn College as an education major. It was a big deal in the family, but really, I was living for Mom and Dad.

It never occurred to me that I wouldn't go to college and have a career - as well as a family - of my own. Both my parents, but especially my mother, encouraged me and led me to believe that it was possible.

My dad wanted me to go down a more academic route. He is very much about sticking to the rule book and sticking to the blueprint of a successful career.

I was the only kid out of six of us to go to college, primarily because my parents could not afford it.

I've always liked the idea of being a father. And I've always romanticised it, because I lost my father when I was young. In a way, all of the complications that come with my career are about that.
