"I am not perfect, because I I present a certain way which is very authentic. Anything you see, that is me. But I'm human. I make mistakes. I get upset. I have moments where I doubt myself.
"They did a really good job of us not knowing how hard it was for them. My parents worked hard caring for for kids. You know, I look back and I see my dad. We're eating, and then he's eating our leftovers. I don't know, you know what it took to raise us because again, that wasn't for us to be burdened with. I just don't know they did a good job of raising us." (2:00)
