I had a great mother, and I'm very comfortable with that maternal element.

I'm also the father of three beautiful children and I've been married to my wife for 18 years, and we've been together for 20 years, so I have a very tender side.

I'm at a point in my life where I have three kids. I'm a father, and you start to take stock and measure yourself as a man and see where there's room for growth.

The world is a dangerous, unstable place and sometimes there are casualties and struggles for power.

The violence is the violence. I understand that we're sometimes squeamish about it, but I think that strength needs to be called on once in awhile, and sometimes that's the only thing that will work.

You look at your past and things that are unresolved and figure out what you need to do to move forward and fill a role with your family and in your community.

I bake my daughter cupcakes for her school. I'm very hands-on.
