Robbie Williams is reflecting on how fatherhood has changed him.
The British singer, 50, spoke with PEOPLE about his new biopic Better Man and was asked what his life is like now that he's both a husband and a father. Williams is dad to daughters Teddy, 11, and Coco, 5, as well as sons Charlie, 9, and Beau, 3, whom he shares with wife Ayda Field.
"I have deep-rooted foundations where there was only chaos, and this little piggy that built a house made of straw," Williams says. "This little piggy now made a house out of concrete, and it is rooted to the spot. And the house isn't impervious to winds and storms, but it still stays standing. That's the difference."

"You try your best, but there's four little voices from four little souls that have wants and needs and are very loud," he tells PEOPLE. "And you have a wife that you need to negotiate with, and she needs to negotiate with you, how you are as a human being and your needs and your wants."
"But I will say this, I wrote a song called 'Feel,' and it said, 'I just want to feel real love in the home that I live in.' I got it. I manifested it, and it's beautiful," the dad of four adds. Ayda Field Williams/Instagram Robbie Williams
