Don't let your own family stop you from achieving your dreams. You're not the first person who's gone through that and you won't be the last, either. Prove 'em wrong and let your passion show. If they can't respect that, then that's their problem and not yours. But you can't quit music because they're close-minded and won't support you on this. You can't give up and let them win so easily. "Dreams are not theirs to take." Wise words from Alter Bridge themselves. Keep your head up!

You are not annoying, Anders. I've been in that exact same situation before, and I know that it feels awful being told that. But you are not annoying at all.

It’s just hard. 

they're still just people. no matter who they are... you can't let them get to you.

They’re the people that matter most to me and what I do and what I love doesn’t matter to them 

why are you gonna let people stop you from doing what you want to do and what you love? that's not right...

It’s not just any people, it’s my own family. They make fun of me, they laugh at me, they don’t take me seriously. There’s no point when all I get is negativity from the people who should be encouraging me. 

I quit music

It’s great to be called annoying, even when I’m singing a hymn. Just fantastic. Can’t do anything right I guess.

Myles Kennedy retired. Not even joking, I dreamed about that. I was at this big ceremony, he had invited a bunch of people from the music industry, and I was standing on stage for some reason. Myles was crying before he finally announced that he was done with music. None of us had any idea why. Apparently it was being televised and the MC cut him off for commercial before Myles could finish his speech. Then Myles walked off the stage with his wife Selena and we were all stunned.
