After a while, you want to sell a lot of records, win awards and touch as many people as you can, but you have to secure the foundation with your family. I'm a family man, but I'm a businessman, too.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a businessman as well as an entertainer. The reason why is because I want to own whatever I'm doing. I don't want to work for other people forever.
I'm a children's book writer, and my wife is a musician. We've raised a family on income from songs, performances and books.
I have my career and my family, and that's it.
I was not very keen on joining the family business... there were 14 family members working together, and it worried me that I would not have enough individuality.
Philanthropy is in the DNA of my family.
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.
When I started Go Daddy, I tried many things - like building networks and selling education - and none of it panned out. I lost millions of dollars the first couple of years. I made a lot of wrong turns, but that's the process of being successful in business.
I've been able to help my family financially since making my first hit record. I bought my parents a house. My husband and I have a property in Portugal and one in Mumbles, Wales, and my family are always coming out to visit us. It has been fantastic to have such a successful career and to have been able to help everyone.
I want to be known as a great businessman.
I have a production company,; I have a foundation. I have a lot of responsibilities. Not family - just a lot of responsibilities.
