I went to a failing school, and by the grace of God, my mother was able to put me into private school, and had she not, I would probably be in a gang or dead right now, because that was the road I was going down.

In school, I would run away whenever there was trouble, as I would get bullied a lot.

I would have gone home to my mother, but I'm not that crazy about my mother.

I completely and utterly rely on my mum. Without my mum, I would not be anywhere at all. I'd literally just be a couch potato.

My mum was no pushy parent. She would drop me off for auditions when I was in my teens at the Lyric Theatre, then give me my bus fare and say she would see me later at home. She wasn't hanging around in the wings geeing me on. I had to do it on my own; it was up to me.

If I lived alone, Mom'd never sleep because she wouldn't know I was okay.

My mom took all of my behavior personally. Everything I did, she thought it was an act of rebellion against her. But it was just me being me.

My mum will never let me be anything but grounded.

My mom used to be concerned 'cause I would never go outside. And when I'd go outside, I'd have friends, but I just was always in the house listening to music, practicing DJing all the time. Then my uncle got a keyboard, drum machine, so I'd just be in the house at 12, 13, just, like, messing up his presets. And my mom was like, 'My son is strange.'

I'm not the kind of guy a girl would take home to her mother. She'd kick the girl out and probably call the cops on me.
