In the beginning, my mother humored me when I told her I wanted to be a reporter.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My mother sent me to speech classes, but the other kids still teased me. I was shy. I stooped. Instead of talking, I kept journals. That's where my love of words comes from. I majored in journalism.
My mother gave up a good part of her career to look after me.
My mother was an actress in comedies. My father wrote scenarios. They were not opposed to my being an actor. I really didn't know what it meant, but I wanted to be one anyway.
My mother talked about the stories I used to spin as a child of three, before I started school. I would tell this story about what school I went to and what uniform I wore and who I talked to at lunchtime and what I ate, and my mother was like, 'This girl does not even go to school.'
I always wanted to be some kind of writer or newspaper reporter. But after college... I did other things.
When I told my parents I wanted to be an actor, my mom was, like, 'I think I heard you say lawyer.'
I always wanted to be a serious journalist.
I announced to my mother one day when I was 8 that I wanted to be a serious actress.
My mother told me I should be a secretary, but I wanted to be an actress from when I was very young.
I told my parents I wanted to be an actress years before I wrapped my head around what my dad did for a living. It's not easy to explain the job of the television journalist, especially when a lot of my friends' dads had jobs that were a lot easier to explain, like a lawyer, a banker or a doctor.
