Quote

My parents were quite liberal with us, always encouraging us to be our own person and be creative.

My parents were liberal intellectuals but even they expected me to stay at home and look after my younger siblings and do the housework.

If my parents had discouraged me, I would have turned out very differently. They raised me in an open-minded, liberal environment.

I was raised by parents who really admired the religious leaders of the left, as many 60s and 70s liberals did.

My family had liberal positions.

I grew up in a very liberal place.

My parents couldn't be looser. It was the ultimate laissez faire upbringing.

It always seemed to be a constant that my parents were political.

I've never had to rebel against my parents; I never had that sort of teen-angst thing where you didn't get along with them. My dad's always been my buddy.

My parents weren't very strict. They've always trusted me to be independent and make my own decisions. There wasn't really anything to rebel against.
