He explained,

"Spending time with her is the best thing I’ve ever done. We have a great bond and it’s the best thing in my life."

"I remember when my daughter, Marina, was born. The second I laid eyes on her, I was in love, and I had never felt that way before. I couldn’t believe it. I knew from that moment there was nothing that would ever stop me from loving her - even if she crashed my Ferrari."
