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

I kept on telling my parents school wasn't for me. And they were like, 'No you need to go university.'

My parents were disappointed I didn't finish college, and they were really upset when I went to Hollywood to become an actor. I was a big disappointment to them.

My parents weren't stereotypical and pressuring me to go to college. They mentioned it a lot and constantly, but it wasn't a do or die thing, like, 'You have to do this or you're done.'

My parents were more surprised that I wanted to go away for school than anything. They didn't really understand the benefits.

Before high school ended, I started applying to college. It really wasn't even a choice because of the brainwashing of my parents.

What upset me the most was not that I would die, but that I was letting down my parents. I felt very guilty for chasing this dream career of mine, at the expense of my parents.

I knew I wanted considerable education so that I wouldn't have to work as hard as my parents.

My parents didn't care very much what I did, and that was probably a blessing.

I'm sure there were times when I wish I had thought, 'Gosh, that might really embarrass mom and dad,' but our parents didn't raise us to think about them. They're very selfless and they wanted us to have as normal of a college life as possible. So really, we didn't think of any repercussions.
