We respect our parents and they respect us. Even when we were younger, it was never, `Well, I`m the parent and you`re the kid.` You wouldn`t be held back because of your age. Just the opposite. My father used to say, `The youngest gets to yell the loudest because they`re never listened to!` My father talks to Summer [sister Summer Phoenix], who is the youngest, the way he talks to my grandfather or anyone else. They always gave us a fair shot.

If I have some celebrity, I hope I can use it to make a difference. The true social reward is that I can speak my mind and share my thoughts about the enviroment and civilisation itself. There`s so much shit happening with people who are exploiting their positions and creating a lot of negativity.
