I had too many big passions in life and it gets in the way of work. You can't concentrate properly on the one thing.

I decided I didn't want to be a slave to any passion any more except for my work, i had too many passions - bridge, horses, gambling. I want to live a different kind of life, be with my family more because I didn't give them enough time.

I've always been extremely lucky in my life.
