Grades were important in our house. I was reading by two. My mom would sit there and read with me, read with me, read with me. It was wonderful.
I needed to step away from music because the truth was I couldn't be the dad I wanted to be to my kids. My truth was that I could not reconcile the two worlds - the entertainment world and being the dad I wanted to be in the present. You can't substitute time, you just can't.
