What I said to my family is, 'Our history is our own. Let people write what they want, we know who we are.'
I am really good about compartmentalizing and treating my family as one thing and the show or whatever my job as a secondary thing.
To just get in front of different kinds of audiences is important for me. I do think it's important for music to be a big family. Whether it's country or not.
I constantly work at maintaining balance. For me, my family comes first. If my family is taken care of, then everything else usually falls into place.
The Teenage Cancer Trust does incredible work supporting and caring for teenagers and young adults with cancer, and it's a cause that is really close to me and my family.
I was born in Westchester, NY. I grew up around the Rye Brook area, and then I moved to White Plains with my family.
I come from a food family, so you would think that I would be great at making baked beans or something, but I'm not.
My folks ain't graduated from high school or nothing like that, so we always had to struggle in the family - and I come from a big family.
I am an avid hunter and marksman, and I will not hesitate to shoot anyone who has myself or family in fear for our lives.
I don't think at that time I realized how important it was and how important it was for me to be here and carry on that legacy in our family of being a photographer.
I grew up in a family where the women were just nuts. They didn't stand around in cardigans making polite conversation while they chopped tomatoes.
Not what you would call a musical family, but my father used to play saxophone, and I discovered many genres of music when I was a child.
Almost any decent cook will make food by eye and taste. Virtually all of my family cooked that way.
After so many changes, I realized I'd better cling to my own family and to what I've got right here.
I grew up in a show business family, so we've always had a great sense of balance, being so close to my parents.
I was so enamored with the idea of being in show business so everything was bright to me. I mean, I didn't think of it as being tough and things like that.
I'm very driven, and I always have been. So I'd like to release a successful album, continue in musical theatre, and be more involved in business.
You have to keep the business side together as well as the creative side. We have constantly surprised people and stayed with bands until they have grown on people.
I never knew any Jews until I got into show business. I've found them to be real smart and good workers.
In Korea, it's a tradition to inherit your father's business. Unfortunately, I'm the only son in the entire family, so they were forcing too much.
That's my only active wish. I think if I sang like Don Henley, this would be a lot more agreeable business.
