It's not always easy in any thing to find balance but the way you live -- Grand -- shall designate that you put on night after the night to try to attach it now. And and and -- your fans didn't -- itself. You really -- to. I have that balance and the -- didn't to have family. To have marriage to have children. To find balance have played around with. And I think what had been -- me because it hasn't been part of my life and I've been working really hard. But I have a child. I have taken that administered. I have ever had a wonderful has been. I have I have a life beyond you know -- And given what could -- being hit me because even though I did a lot of show that I met Michael Michael McCain didn't -- my show. They're glad they didn't think he had a lot of questions for me he wanted to know how I was glad to perform night after the night -- that they did. I -- for the -- how with the but it suggests how -- pit -- they're living there. And I was very surprised because. I had questions put him -- I have not been a big fan that I don't believe. Working hard -- your big -- Did you -- and then it's like a drug do you want to give more right you want to do more it it's the fantastic life. But you have to have a -- and I find the ballet and and popped into my family and friends because. It's very important to me you know sometimes you gotta get back that you need medicine and you need to go -- you want to do shell. That you wonder if you want to be able to go -- the night of my going to be able to make up my going to be able to get my going to be able to go want. And then you have your plan that you have your family you -- doctors. And and and you can count on them. And it's always been and it will always be very important to me exactly. The people surrounding me. We're always protecting me for not giving it that I am but for the person that I am for -- best friend that white. The mother that I am didn't think it that I am this guy that I am. I don't want and -- didn't -- yet to what I say. I want them to protect me because they left me very much like as much as I left them. So if I go through a lot of stress that if I need to mop if I think I need this. A lot of medicine because the I -- fairly -- need to -- of that -- because I can't go one. -- have to make sure that I'm staying healthy fit and staying grounded. That it could very -- really good. But the family becomes extremely important. And I had -- you -- you have to become. And all you have to be responsible for -- put it put -- back. And I think sometimes you might need help but is it that -- barely. Difficult -- address the situation."
