My parents always encouraged me to do creative stuff, to do weird stuff.

My parents are creative on many fronts, and they pushed me to be that way, too. They wanted me to write, actually.

I grew up in what you might call a relentlessly creative household. We were given art supplies, music supplies... Our mother knew enough to get us started and then stand back and not meddle. My parents never said to us, 'Don't you think you'll need something to fall back on?' They acted as though creativity was completely normal.

Both my parents are creative. My dad did act when he was younger, but they're both very creative.

When I ask my parents, it's incredibly obvious I was going to have a creative career at an early age. I've been forever telling stories since I was very young.

My dad is an English teacher, and my mom is a textiles artist. My parents made my sisters and me feel that if we wanted to pursue something creative, it could be done. They've always been supportive of everything from the beginning.

What I think tailors the creativity of most people are the rules that we learn from the age we are very small - in school, our parents.

My parents always got a kick out of my art. I was always able to make them laugh. As I got older, I remember the thrill I got when I graduated from making my classmates laugh to making adults laugh. Kind of a watershed moment.

My parents always stressed finding some sort of creative outlet, so they would take me to dance classes, take me to jazz clubs.

As a kid I was creative.
