They were always really supportive.  I was a shitty student.  I only really got good grades when I wanted to.  Whenever I found something that interested me I would excel at it.  When I chose to pursue music my parents saw that there was passion behind my decision.  Music led me to comedy, college led me to video and photography, now I do it all with every bit of my strength to try to make a living.  My parents never stood in my way once.  If you have drive, there is no reason anyone shouldn’t support you.
