"I don't like to go too long without seeing her. Maybe a couple of weeks."

Ray said of his daughter: "I just had a period of four months at home because I decided not to do a movie so I could spend more time with her."

"It was all about taking her to dance classes, playing with her."

He also revealed that he and Michelle were on cordial terms and disclosed: "She's a great woman, and thank God we're still friends."

"She still stays over at the house, so Karsen can see us together."

"You want to give her as much semblance of a family unit as you can when you're separated or divorced."
