It's from Ferris Buehlers Day Off! And it's an ethos. My eldest daughter is now 14 but before our youngest daughter was born we went to Chicago. Quite liked the city – we've got relatives here, everything is similar. I liked the movie from the 80s, my daughter loves it now and probably watches it every other week. We had a second daughter who was born with severe disabilities. She's now 11 but she doesn't talk. She can't fend for herself. She won't' be able to be independent for a long time. But at any opportunity we've got along the way, we'll take that opportunity as it comes and we'll jump on it so sometimes I get a bit of a short notice business trip to Japan so I'll take my eldest daughter or my wife to Japan just because that's the moment. Or if I'm coming to America, maybe I can extend my stay for the weekend and we'll just do it then. We work and behave very quick. And life moves pretty fast! C: Is that a good thing? Do you like that? Would I have chosen this life? No. But do I like it now? Yeah. Because I'm not really a regret sort of guy. I don’t know if I would prefer life without a disabled daughter who's got needs that are quite encompassing, quite full on. On the other side, my other daughter, she's currently the British Street Dancing champion. Last year she was second in the world for street dancing. Is it because of the disability and the life that we've got to take the opportunities that we can? I don't know. But maybe it was. My wife was in a circus for a while. She was an elephant rider and a dancer and a magician's assistant, so she's very arty and I'm very “do stuff” and she's very arty and quite likes the theater and stuff. She wanted Jade to get into any kind of dancing, but [Jade] didn't like the ballet, but she loved street dancing so she just got really really into it. When she was performing the the Street Dancing World Championships last year, Tracy and I – my wife and I – we also performed in the parent's street dancing competition. Why did we do it? I don't know, it was there! Do it! Just give it a go right?
