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.

For a long time I felt like I was fighting my age, like I was constantly trying to prove to people that I was a savvy peer, and I felt them viewing me as a kid. I was a cocky kid, and I felt like I was an adult at, like, 9, you know? I think that's because my parents always treated me as an adult.

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

By the time I turned 18, I moved into a little chalet of my own and felt very grown-up.

Once I started to grow up, I realised that my parents are normal people and they can make mistakes.

When you take the time to understand why your parents did the things they did, you stand a good chance of learning more about your own behavior.

I was out of the house at 16 by my own doing. It forced me to really grow up and take care of myself, and I learned a lot of things that your parents usually teach you, on my own.

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

I've only recently realized that I have a radically different relationship with my parents than a lot of people.

I get on all right with my parents. But I don't see them very much. They split up when I was eight. I stayed with my mum, but I felt it was a bit soft with her. I could do whatever I liked, and I wasn't getting nowhere, so I went to stay with my dad.
