Well, when you're the youngest of five, parents kind of lose interest more and more through the children. I think my eldest brother was under loads of pressure to do something amazing with his life, but by the time I came around they were like, 'Well, let's hope he doesn't kill a guy.'

Summary

This quote humorously highlights the diminishing expectations parents often have for their youngest child. Being the youngest of five siblings, the speaker suggests that their parents placed significant pressure on their eldest brother to achieve something extraordinary, but became progressively less concerned as each subsequent child was born. The quote playfully implies that the parents' hopes and expectations for the youngest child were simply not threatening or excessive, contrasting the initial high expectations with a more relaxed perspective over time.
