Lance spoke about the loss of his first wife and mother in an interview with Strombo in 2012. “In this business, it’s so much about either getting the next job or who’s the bigger star or how much money you’re making and I’m not saying that’s what it has necessarily been about for me but you get caught up in that … and sometimes you forget that we’re mortal,” he said. “It made me realize that I always have to keep in front of me why I’m doing this.”
He added, “I felt it more with my ex-wife because suddenly I was my kids’ only parent… I have great kids and it’s because they had a great mom.”
