I didn't take the typical path and go to college after high school. Instead, I saved up money from teaching dance classes and moved to L.A. But my family was so supportive - I never felt pressure from them. It's crucial to find a support system, even if it's not your family.
I have an amazing relationship with my wife, but sometimes there are arguments. It happens.
I had moments of my actions and words not reflecting who it is I am - if that defines a punk, then yes, absolutely.
