"I've never been really turned on about the money…That's not my number one objective, and that's reflected in the way the kids are brought up…It's definitely not going to them, and that's not in a mean way; it's to not spoil them…The only thing I've agreed with wife Tana is they get a 25% deposit on a flat, but not the whole flat."

"They don't sit with us in first class…They haven't worked anywhere near hard enough to afford that. At that age, at that size, you're telling me they need to sit in first class? No, they do not. We're really strict on that…I turn left with Tana and they turn right and I say to the chief stewardess, 'Make sure those little f—— don't come anywhere near us, I want to sleep on this plane.' I worked my f—— arse off to sit that close to the pilot and you appreciate it more when you've grafted for it."
