Mmm. I agree with you, Greg, but family is important too. I don't know that I could do what I do without my wife.

I'm doing this for a reason, and it hurts that you don't trust me. It's for Jackson. It's for you. It's for all of our friends, for Scott, for Emma, for all of them. I don't pick fights either, that was just...it just was. I can't excuse that fight but it was one fight.

Jean-Paul...I'm sure he doesn't mean it. This is just who he is now.

He says it's all about family when he doesn't seem to understand that who he is, the way he acts, is hurting his family. I don't think he realizes anything beyond himself.
