Education was the most important value in our home when I was growing up. People don't always realize that my parents shared a sense of intellectual curiosity and a love of reading and of history.

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

I really owe everything to my parents and their devotion and drive to see to it that their children had the education which led to the opportunities that they never were able to have.

When I was growing up, my mother would take me to plays and museums, and we'd talk about life. Those times helped shape who I became.

Education equals choices. I have been blessed with the choice to be anything I ever wanted to be, and I truly owe my happiness to my family and education.

I wanted to have a personal life that I fully inhabited, not because I am such a great mom, but for me.

I simply loved education. I mean, I always loved acting as well. It really was a major passion for me, but one I felt I could only fully explore once I'd completed my degree.

I was blessed to have a mother and father that recognized the value of education.

I had a happy childhood, with many stimulations and support from my parents who, in postwar times, when it was difficult to buy things, made children's books and toys for us. We had much freedom and were encouraged by our parents to do interesting things.
