Without my parents I wouldn't have achieved what I've achieved. My dad would always push me to be the best that I could be in anything. I have this competitive drive and I'm a perfectionist, and he would always try to push me in the right direction. I think the trust and the friendship that we have is great.

My mom has always been the chilled and laid back one. My mom and my brother are like "yeah, it's gonna work out, it's fine." It's nice to have that balance.
