How do you balance the work with the family?

"I don’t want to go into too much detail but it’s just as you assume… we’re a normal family, a mother and father, and the kids get unruly! The kids are fantastic and say the funniest things I’ve ever heard!

"But the most important thing for us is to make sure we carve out time for them, that we get group time and one-on-one time because it’s our responsibility to show them around and help shape them. So I guess the only thing I can say is that it’s fatherhood first, family first, and then I slip in the work."

You’ve been a nomadic clan over the years. How does that work out?
 
"It works for us. The family becomes the core. The places they get to see they may not understand at this early age but it’s seeping into their consciousness. We’re in an international schooling program, so wherever you go, it’s the same curriculum.

"The only problem is the assault, the paparazzi. Quite frankly, I have a problem with it. I think there should be laws against it. It’s out of hand and crosses all lines of decency. These kids didn’t ask for this and it’s really discombobulating for them, and a bit frightening. Video cameras right in their faces, yelling their names…

"They don’t know why these people are yelling their names and they have this idea that any time they step outside, there are people following them around with cameras. I mean, it’s a strange view of the world. It bothers me."
