The father of one further said: “This is now getting to areas where one feel that one is in bondage and one is trying to clean oneself. So you are just stuck in this place of feeling far from God, feeling separated from God. Feeling that I have made a little bit of money but I am still not happy. I have been fortunate to be able to do what I love for a living for a long time. I am grateful for the small success we have experienced in music, in film, in other ventures.”

He went further to acknowledge the role of God in his life and career

“There is what I like to call a God-shaped void inside every man. There is an emptiness you feel when you are disconnected from that source. It is a purpose thing, not a pay thing. It is a meaning thing not about money.”
