My parents went crazy when they found out that I had gotten the part in 'Conversations With My Father!' I'd never given acting a thought. They were proud of me and very encouraging.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My parents always asked me what I thought, listened to my opinions, articulated their diagnoses of our challenges at home and abroad, and shared their ideas for how to build a more equal and prosperous country. I always felt part of their call to serve and part of my father's journey.
My father made with me one serious mistake which I see parents about me making. He got himself somehow into the awkward position of an authority; I thought he knew and was right on everything - for a while.
I had a very vivid, almost hallucinatory moment in which I was engaged in a dialogue with my father.
I speak with my father about everything in my life.
My parents really encouraged me.
I didn't see deep emotion from my parents. It was all very polite and very surface. I never knew how anybody was feeling.
I tell my friends about my conversations with my father - conversations with an artist.
My parents must have done a great job. Anytime I wanted to pursue something that they weren't familiar with, that was not part of their lifestyle, they let me go ahead and do it.
My parents were always very supportive and accepting. They even shared my curiosity for life, or perhaps I theirs.
You know, I had my mother and my father convincing me that he would be going back to Hollywood and he'd be back with the actresses and dating them and that he wasn't serious about me at all. So I had him saying one thing to me and my parents telling me something else.
