"I
was raised in Phoenix, Arizona and I was raised with very
definitive ideas in terms of morals. None of my family smoked or
drank. It was a tumultuous up-bringing, but we raised with very
definitive ideas in terms of values and judgments about ourselves
and how we felt about ourselves. We were raised to believe in
maintaining our own dignity and seeking what we want for
ourselves. There's no one in my family who is doing the same
thing. No one is doing what I'm doing, or my sister, or my
brother, or my mother or my father. I mean, we all have separates
careers... and separate ideas. And that's what my parents taught
us. They taught us to believe in ourselves and to feel good about
ourselves." |
