I do know what my family has done for me, but they do need to give me some space to let me be myself. There would be some things I would handle differently.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Yes, I'm very close to my family. And being that close to your family, I think you also struggle with how to become your own person.
I reproach so many things about my family, but on the other hand, I kept asking them to be my family.
I have a pretty good family. But ever since I was little, I just felt like I wanted to be on my own. It was the same thing about school.
My family is my life, and everything else comes second as far as what's important to me.
I'm quite an independent person, and I had to be. As a boy and growing into a young man I had to look out for myself. And now I'm very family-oriented. It's a big priority in my life.
I had a very supportive family environment that gave me room to explore and discover things about myself.
For all the drama we all have with our families and all the tension and hostility, I couldn't have done this without my family. Being the people that they are - they're crazy - made it possible for me to be crazy and to live a lifestyle of my own design.
The last thing in the world my parents would want to do is get on a stage or do a movie. They would probably rather die. But they let me be who I was, and they supported me.
I wouldn't change a thing about my family.
I want to make sure that no matter how long I go through this, I don't fall into the trap of changing and modifying how I do things that aren't a positive example. I want to remain somebody that the entire family can listen to or watch.
