I've always loved where my dad came from and the ideals that instilled in me.
Without my dad, I wouldn't be here.
I never had a magazine, I never listened to a certain band. Actually, I was listening to bands from the '60s and '70s with my dad, so I knew more about The Beatles than I did about what was topical in my life.
I took Jujitsu for four years, which has no striking. My dad had me in Taekwondo when I was a kid, but I didn't retain much of that.
When I grew up in Seattle, by the way, in the 70's, it was a fishing village. There were loggers and fishers and my dad had a sewer company and it wasn't the way Seattle is now. Culturally, it was very different back then.
My dad knows the business, and he tells me I've got to do what's best for me.
I'm looking out for myself, but I'm looking out for my dad, too.
My dad encouraged anything I wanted to do, especially music. Actually he drove me around to places where I could play.
I was built up from my dad more than anyone else.
My dad's not here, but he's watching in heaven.
