I was really blessed with parents who never said I couldn't do anything. And now I reflect as an adult on that, 'Wow, they never told me no!'

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.

I don't really say too much to my parents. If they ask me to do something I just do it and get it out of the way.

My parents must have done a great job. Anytime I wanted to pursue something that they weren't familiar with, that was not part of their lifestyle, they let me go ahead and do it.

My parents made me believe I could do anything I wanted to do. They were really into empowering me.

My parents are really well intended, and I think their way of dealing with things is denial and guilt. Nobody wanted to talk about it. But all I did was blame myself.

I never questioned I would have any trouble doing what I wanted to do. I'm not talking about getting to a certain position - or to success. It was just that I knew I wanted to act, and that I would make my living that way. Having the unconditional support of your parents is really freeing.

I think my parents had a hard time dealing with me.

They thought that I was a man with reasonable judgment, so I was never under pressure from my parents; I could do whatever I wanted. I never had a negative word from them, nothing whatsoever.

My parents didn't know what to do with me, so they just pretended I was normal, and that worked out quite well for me.
