Basically what happened was, she decided to remedy the problem and she checked herself in and it saved our lives.
She took basically a year and a half of my life away, and I didn't know if I would ever be able to stand up for a few years.
She was, as she said in interviews, basically broke. So I didn't marry her for anything that she could give me as far as financially. I just loved the woman. I mean, I just loved her, unconditionally loved her.
I wanted to give her a normal life. I loved her. You know, it tore my heart out.
Here we are on a vacation and out of nowhere she starts going to the mini-bar. And I come in and she's violent. And I was stunned.
I bought up the first two nights thinking if you can pack them the first two nights, by the time the reviews came out, she'd be able to sell tickets.
I didn't care if she worked. I never cared if Liza worked. I said, be a housewife. Go out and shop. Take the credit card.
Nothing can repay me for what has happened to my health. No $10 million, no $20 million, no $30 million, no $40 million.
She put her hands around the neck of our production manager, and you know, started to choke him.
She just - when she wants a drink she goes and gets a drink.
I had just done a Michael Jackson 30th anniversary celebration. We did well over $20 million. And we owned that, Michael and I.
Oh, I'm sure - everybody alienates - ah, people. But did it stop me from getting her everything she needed? Not at all.
The baby is the most important thing to us.
If I wanted to be famous, I could have been famous before.
