We were extremely poor. We had no house, no food. We had nothing. My parents had many problems. My family was always on the edge of violence, It was tunbelievably sressful. There wasn't a moment to relax during my entire childhood.
I waited to be an artist when I was about six. But my family was so poor that I got knocked off trak by the working-class educational system and the environment I was living in. I become a street gang member, causing trouble and fighting against other groups.

should go somewhere in the middle of America and find a new job, have a car and a house with a garge. That lasted about an hour, but it was such a stressful experience.
