"Honestly, I'm not sure I'd be alive if I wasn't a dad—I don't know." Bradley said on a Feb. 26 episode of Armchair Expert with Dax Shepherd. "I just needed someone to say, ‘We're gonna drop this massive anchor,' and I'm like, ‘Why? We're speeding. We just got an upgrade on the boat and I know where the wind is coming in.' And they're like, ‘No, there's a tsunami coming and you need an anchor and we're gonna drop itคำพูดจาก สล็อตเว็บตรง. This is going to dictate everything you do from now on."
He added, "Your DNA is going to tell you there's something more important than you.'"

"I want her to have as much foundation as she can—I think about how my relationship with my daughter impacts her growth and the journey she's gonna be on," he added. "The least amount of damage I can do to my daughter—please let me work on myself."
Still, the 49-year-old continues to compose his own perfect melody for parenthood—admitting it took several months for him to develop a strong attachment to her.
"The first eight months, I was like, ‘I don't even know if I really love the kid, it's dope. It's cool,'" he joked. "And then all of a sudden it's like no question."

"That was the first time I ever realized I had a problem with drugs and alcohol," he said on the Smartless podcast in 2022. "I'll never forget it."
