I don't consult anyone - not my mother, not my father, anyone - about my work. And I must add that neither Dad nor Mom interfere in my work.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My mother has never been involved in my professional life. I am very close to my mother but we keep it on a mother-daughter basis and not a work-related basis.
My mom's a social worker, and my dad works in non-profit organisations.
I never thought about the relationship of my mother, my family, to the content of my work.
I come from a family of working professionals: my dad is a chartered accountant, and my mom is a professor.
My father is a businessman, and my mother is a schoolteacher.
I don't look at other people's work because I don't want to be distracted by their ideas.
When it comes to advice, I always consult my father regarding everything, as he has seen the industry inside out, and he is the best person to guide me.
My dad has no control over who works with me. Me, me and me alone has to take responsibility for anything.
I think my mom and dad have an incredible work ethic, and we've grown up around it.
I'm very conscious of the fact that when I'm working, my daughter is not with one of her parents.
