I met my wife by breaking two of my rules: never date a girl seriously,that you meet at a nightclub and never date a fan.
Oh, I see people everywhere. Some are celebs, but most of my friends are,just regular people. The thing is, even celebs are normal people too.
Just people.
My greatest gifts are my son and wife, I will bust my back to give them,a solid life, one with everything I never had.
People seem to just forget that celebrities have the rights to any other,citizen.
The industry people, people are jealous of me, people are my,competitors, people go up against me - everybody wants to hate.
Sometimes you have to get through the darkness to see the light.
I literally was famous before I knew my own name.
My discrepancy with children in the industry is that they are made famous before they know who they are as human beings.
