The-Dream Honey Magazine June 2010

Super producer The Dream sits down with Honey Magazine in there latest issue to discuss fame, his retirement, and life with Christina Milian and daughter Violet.  See below excerpts:

On marriage to Christina Milian

Still learning. I’m definitely way more mature in this relationship. I’m probably just mature overall because my grandfather raised me. I probably should be more nonchalant.

As far as money — you got to be careful how you’re spending. Are you thinking about 10 years from now? It’s certain things that become meaningful in a relationship that’s not that real when you’re just boyfriend and girlfriend. The things I think about are a little bit different and those are things she’s learning from me and what I have to do is be more patient.

Everybody has to make a sacrifice for family. Even if you’re a child and don’t understand, you’ll understand later. Donald Trump’s daughter didn’t just come up without any sacrifices from her father. You can’t build things when you want to build them, you have to build them when you have the opportunity.

If we wanted pretty guys to be on our label, that’s what we’d do.
