I have a very close family. I have four older siblings: two brothers and two sisters.
I've got two older sisters who I'm very close to. And my son's grown up with a big sense of family around him.
I'm pretty sure I was about the only kid in school who knew who Jimi Hendrix even was. Through my older siblings, I was getting turned on to all the great music that was happening at the time, and I really loved Hendrix.
I've always loved music. I grew up with older brothers and sisters who were into music, played The Beatles and the Rolling Stones and Aretha Franklin.
I recalled how a lot of my older siblings would go to a friend's house and borrow records to play and sometimes borrow a turntable because we didn't have a turntable in the house until I was 8, about the same time we had a TV.
I grew up pretty fast because I had a lot of older brothers and sisters.
As my brother and I get older and busier, I really cherish the time we spend together.
I come from a close-knit family, and I have four older brothers that have inspired me in so many ways.
From a young age I was really into pop music because I had these two older sisters who were into it, and I wanted to be like them. They liked Wham! and so I was really into them too.
I happened to the be the fifth child of my family, so everybody was already grown and had left home already.
I blame and credit my brothers for my competitive fire within me. Growing up, I lost at everything! My brothers are quite a bit older - 10 years and 5 years - so it was a challenge, but I have some of the most amazing memories with my big brothers.
There was nobody in the family who had ever done anything like that before. My brothers - I had two brothers. They were twins. They both became architects. They were both six years older.
Thank God I had both parents and older brothers.
If you're an older sibling and you have a younger sibling who needs mentoring or is afraid of the dark, you develop nurturing and empathic skills that you wouldn't otherwise have.
I grew up playing defense all the time with my older brothers and the older players.
When I first became aware of music, it was probably the same way a lot of people do - even more suburban or rural people - from my older brothers playing music.
I have two older sisters; I'm the youngest.
I have a lot of older brothers who messed up in different ways in my mother's eyes. So I learned from all of their mistakes.
I have three older brothers, and each one of them has chosen one of my parents' education. Two of them are actors, and the third is a doctor as my mother is.
Having two older brothers is a healthy reminder that you're always closer to the bottom than you are to the top.
Most of the time, if I'm in a pickle, I'll call one of my brothers. They've usually got somewhat uplifting advice. One is six and a half years older and one is eight years older, so they've probably lived through whatever my problem is.
For the younger sisters, we always look up to the older sisters because they're always ahead of us and they always win.
My older brothers and sisters have kids and families.
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
I have two brothers, and one of them plays the guitar. I actually started playing the guitar because of him. Both of my brothers are 12 years older than me, so I thought they were really cool, and I just wanted to be really cool like them.
