I made 'Saving Private Ryan' for my father. He's the one who filled my head with war stories when I was growing up.

I missed my dad a lot growing up, even though we were together as a family. My dad was really a workaholic. And he was always working.

Before statehood was achieved, Syria and Egypt had their tanks and military equipment lined up to invade Tel Aviv and destroy it; but the Israelis scrambled together an air force, some of it from old Second World War Messerschmidts, and the invasion was halted.

Bey is a big sister; she's a huge supporter. I mean, the whole Destiny's Child family - Kelly and Michelle - they've always been great supporters of mine in all my endeavors.

A few years ago, I decided I wanted to be home with my family.
