Really good.

Couldn't have asked for better

Parents or better brothers and
2457
01:15:34,777 --> 01:15:36,846
Sisters.
2458
01:15:36,913 --> 01:15:38,848
When I was like 12 or 13,
2459
01:15:38,916 --> 01:15:40,883
I started smoking weed.
2460
01:15:40,951 --> 01:15:42,117
When I was 15, I started
2461
01:15:42,218 --> 01:15:44,452
Drinking beer and stuff.
2462
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:45,787
And then it went on to cocaine
2463
01:15:45,855 --> 01:15:48,927
And methamphetamines.
2464
01:15:48,995 --> 01:15:50,195

01:15:50,263 --> 01:15:51,930

Got to me.
2468
01:15:54,968 --> 01:15:57,035
Just totally broke me.
2469
01:15:57,103 --> 01:15:58,670
There's always a chance.
2470
01:15:58,738 --> 01:16:00,871
And there's always a choice.
2471
01:16:00,939 --> 01:16:02,373
Instead of doing nothing with
2472
01:16:02,440 --> 01:16:04,741
Myself, I want my son to see me
2473
01:16:04,808 --> 01:16:07,176
Singing on stages because life
2474
01:16:07,244 --> 01:16:10,813

Talent.
2574
01:19:32,684 --> 01:19:33,417
It's "undescribable."
2575
01:19:33,485 --> 01:19:34,255
People always say, "what's
2576
01:19:34,352 --> 01:19:35,052
The x factor?"
2577
01:19:35,124 --> 01:19:35,923
I say it's "undescribable."
2578
01:19:35,991 --> 01:19:41,957
