My parents wanted to light my artistic candle. But over time, the definition of 'the arts' began to stretch. And as I got older, they suddenly realized, Oh, my God, we're the parents of Iggy Pop.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was 10, my parents really valued success in the arts, and I thought if I was a famous 'something artistic,' that they would love me more.
My parents are creative on many fronts, and they pushed me to be that way, too. They wanted me to write, actually.
My parents always pushed creativity on us, but they made it seem like the fun thing to do.
I was raised to be some kind of artist.
My parents cultured me a lot and they introduced me to a lot of artists, a lot of their friends.
My parents always got a kick out of my art. I was always able to make them laugh. As I got older, I remember the thrill I got when I graduated from making my classmates laugh to making adults laugh. Kind of a watershed moment.
Our parents were musicians.
My parents always saw me as an artist, and that greatly influenced me.
My parents constantly tried to talk me out of being an artist. They had gone through the whole journey with my sister and just wanted me to have a normal teenage life.
I got to grow up in an incredibly artistic family.
