I had a great father.

I had a great mother, you know, who was an ally of mine who, you know, I lost at 18.

And that was the toughest part of my life.

And somehow, even though I looked at it with amazement and I enjoyed it, I wouldn't let it go to my head.

You know, I just, I really felt that I was always in fear of losing it.

And if you had any way of being not grateful for what you're giving or misbehaving, you would lose it.
