I grew up with an artist father, and my parents' friends were also mainly artists or writers, so he connects what I do with his example. ↗

When I was 15, my parents left town for a month. They hid the keys to the car, but I found them. That month, I drove my stepdad's Thunderbird Super Coupe into Manhattan every day, and I would crank Cypress Hill as I flew around the city, racing the taxis. ↗

And I finished college because I thought how much it would upset my parents if I didn't. ↗
