Dad was in the British Army and my mom was in the Royal Air Force, so both of my parents believed in discipline.

My mom's discipline worked out perfectly. I wouldn't change a thing.

I got a mother who's very strong after taking the whippings that she took from my father.

When I was doing poorly at school, my father yanked me out and got me a job in a shoe factory. After three weeks, I begged him to give me another chance at doing well in school. I learned that discipline is necessary to accomplish anything in life.

My dad used to give me a lot of spankings. Anything I did wrong, he was on me. I was raised by a strict disciplinarian. He kind of laid down the law.

My father was a mean, controlling and manipulative person for most of his life. He was unpredictable and unstable.

My father and mother had tremendous integrity, and obviously that affected me.

There couldn't be better parents than mine, loving yet strict. They disciplined with love. A child without discipline is, in away, a lost child. You cannot have freedom without discipline.

My mum had me brought up by nannies and governesses. I didn't have much to do with my parents until I was 21.

My parenting style is probably like that of my parents, because you do how you learn. My mother was very nurturing and loving, but very stern. She was a disciplinary. My dad was also very loving.
