I listen to kids play a lot.

One of the other things I think that I've been able to do in my life, is to listen well.

I don't know, but I think kids just want to be listened to, so I want to make sure I do that.

I want to make sure that no matter how long I go through this, I don't fall into the trap of changing and modifying how I do things that aren't a positive example. I want to remain somebody that the entire family can listen to or watch.

'What can your kids teach you?' Well, I believe something different about kids. We don't own them, they have their own knowledge. From the start you have to make the choice to listen.

When I'm not working, my time is really about my children.

I love working with kids, talking with them and listening to them. I always encourage kids to reach beyond their dreams. Don't try to be like me. Be better than me.

I started listening to music when I wrote when I had three sons at home.

Every single decision I make about what material I do, what I'm putting out in the world, is because of my children.
