My only real contact with what my father did was that he could get 16-millimeter prints, so every weekend we would show two or three movies at home. But our house wasn't frequented by stars. My father's personal life was his personal life, and it was separate from his professional life.

I spend a lot of time with my children. I like to go to the country with them, where we can spend hours walking in the woods and talking. That's more important to me than anything else.

If somebody's offering you a $400 million company at the age of 29, I've got the ego to say, 'I'd like a shot at that.'

The imagination of our children is blunted on television, and their thinking is done for them.

Mexico is where I fell in love for the first time; it's where my family lives... so however much I travel, I inevitably return there.

My family is the most important thing to me because they're always there for me when times are down.

I'm just grateful. I'm grateful for my family, my wife, and our health. I'm grateful to be in a band of brothers that I love so, so, so much. I'm grateful that this magical combination of dudes makes music that people like and moves them.

I never hated my father. I would have named my child Usher regardless. I never hated myself because I carried his name, because I made it mean what I wanted it to mean.
