I had a number of very strong personalities in my family. My father was a concert flutist, the solo flute for Toscanini.

For my own family, I would always choose the makeshift, surrogate family formed by various characters unrelated by blood.

I think that's become passe, but if you can surround yourself with a kind of monument to yourself and your family - a statement - and you can afford it, then that's a noble project.

I'm not ready to get married, but I have a pretty great family and I'd like that too, someday.

I have a great family by the way, but you need to find people who can pull something out from you that might be otherwise unseen.
