I grew up in a good family with good parents, and I was able to dream big and have the support to live it out.

My kids learned to be independent.

I grew up with just my mom. She and I were like best friends. She's a very independent woman and I admire that about her. In my life, I've tried to be like that. To be okay with being on my own and being independent.

My parents separated when I was very small. I grew up with my mother, and I was a single child then. She was very independent, doing her things and having fun alone and working.

By the time I was a young man, I was pretty independent.

I have always been independent.

My mother gave me a sense of independence, a sense of total confidence that we could do whatever it was we set out to do. That's how we were raised.

As I've gotten older and grown more independent, I think for myself, and that's how it should be.

I'm very independent, creatively, always trying to push myself - and I think that comes from my mother.

I think that my parents' divorce gave me a very strong sense of self-reliance and independence. I realised that I needed to make sure I could support myself because you don't know what's going to happen in the future.
