There are a lot of things that you don't realize that your parents are going through when you're a kid.

At some point, you realize your parents are human. They make the best decisions they can with the options available to them.

Parents are in denial a lot of the time - everybody knows what they did as a teenager, but somehow, when they grow up, it all disappears.

When you become a parent, you look at your parents differently. You look at being a child differently. It's an awakening, a revelation that you have.

Parents are sometimes a bit of a disappointment to their children. They don't fulfill the promise of their early years.

It triggers something in you as a human being because you forget what your parents did for you. But when you become a parent, you're like, 'Whoa! It's hard work.' No wonder your parents always tell you off! They've done a lot for you.

When you're younger, you're trying to understand and make sense of what your parents are trying to instill in you, which is ultimately life experience. I remember being 17 and my dad trying to teach me the importance of responsibility.

Parents don't understand kids and kids don't understand parents. My parents were divorced when I was really young and I went to live with my dad.

It's interesting when you're old enough to take a new, objective approach looking at your parents, frame them in a way where you are actually taking yourself out of the equation and just look at the things that are true about their life.
