He likes to know his family's around."

"I said I can't be here sitting in Boston when my father doesn't know how he's going to get dinner. And that's how bad it was. And he said it publicly. He had to borrow money from his staff to put food on the table. I just felt morally obliged to be with him. I called him and I said 'You know dad, I think I want to leave college half-way and comeback and just be with you, try and help you in whatever way. At least you'll know that your boy is next to you and he's there for you'."
