I have an extended family of close friends, guy and girls.

I'm lucky in that I have close friends and family and my agent to advise me.

You get close to some of them, you get wedding invitations and, sadly, sometimes you go to funerals. They're part of your extended family.

What I find appalling is the intrusive nature towards my extended family.

You don't have to give birth to someone to have a family. We're all family - an extended family.

You know, just in terms of having to have a life on the road, you know, having the celebrity aspect be a burden for my family, friends and extended family.
