I went to school and made good grades and went to college. So I was afforded an opportunity through my parents' hard work that most people don't have.

I didn't want to go to college or work in an office or have a nine-to-five job. I knew that quite clearly before I left school.

My parents grew up working class, but in that way that working class families do, they spent a fortune on education to better me.

My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education.

My whole life was geared toward being a highly educated person.

My parents instilled in me that life was going to be very difficult and that I'd have to work for everything.

I was the only kid out of six of us to go to college, primarily because my parents could not afford it.

I watched my parents go from having very basic jobs to educating themselves, to buying a house. They set a really good bar for what they wanted their kids to achieve.

My parents wanted me to work in a bank or as an accountant.
