My perception of life is not to ask Francois Hollande, who isn't the father of my children, to support me financially.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Francois Hollande, the president of France, and Segolene Royal, a senior cabinet minister who once ran for that post herself, have an exceptionally complicated relationship. The two lived together for 25 years, raising four children over that time.
When you have children, you can't say you're not interested in money.
I don't want to leave my successor and my children to pay for France's debt.
When it comes down to it, I believe that, having made the decision to bring children into the world, I owe it to them to be as present as I can in their daily lives and to try my best to stay alive until they've made it through to adulthood.
The purpose of my life is being a father to my kids and being a husband to my wife.
I see myself raising my children in Europe, probably in Paris.
I am grateful for the willingness of both Jurgen Klinsmann and Everton manager Roberto Martinez to afford me the opportunity to spend time with my kids.
Money to me is not a factor in my life.
I merely consider myself a father, and one role of a father is to provide financial resources for his family.
As a mother, the things that I wanted for my own four children, I want for all the children of France.
