When you're together with someone for some time, you will automatically depend on them as if they were a crutch. And then it ends.

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.

I don't mind being laughed at: that's something I really don't mind, and I think that's kept me sane. My ability to laugh at myself and allow others to laugh at me has been my saving grace.

Dad is my best mate and I can tell Mum absolutely anything. I really appreciate Mum and Dad. Why are we so close? Young parents, I think. The rock business keeps their minds young.
