Growing up, we had to work. If you wanted anything at all that was more than basic food and shelter, you had to make your own money.

I'm focused on bringing real change to Washington because the career politicians have screwed things up so badly.

Career politicians like Marco Rubio worry more about keeping the job than doing the job and are constantly looking for their next political promotion.

I just think people are fed up with people who are career politicians who don't stand for anything.

I believe in education, but I think the balance has to be right between theory and practical experience. I think from secondary school onwards it should be more about preparing you for life and work in the real world.

I was at that point where my children needed more than going around the planet in the back of a bus. They needed stability, they needed to build their own lives and relationships, and I needed to put my life on hold. I made my choice - I chose my children.

I always knew that I wanted to work and I knew I wanted to be a singer and an actor. I knew that every choice I made would help me get to that point. So the better the choices I made, the more of a chance I would have to get to where I wanted to be.

The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence.
