I was trained to be very tough. My mom told me I shouldn't cry; I shouldn't be afraid of anything.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When my mum first told me she got sick, I didn't cry. I probably cried over my mum's illness twice.
I'm not used to crying. It's a little difficult. All my life I've had to fight. It's just another fight I'm going to have to learn how to win, that's all. I'm just going to have to keep smiling.
When I was a kid, I thought it was tough.
I cried every day of first grade. In class. Which meant I ended up getting comfortable emoting in a place where it wasn't the norm.
So I don't cry anymore, I just beat people up. It's a lot more fun.
My father died when I was young, and after he did, my mother had it tough. Very tough.
I tried to be really tough when I was younger. I felt I had to stand up for myself. I never felt like I fit in.
When I was younger, I thought I had to shut myself off, work really hard to cry. I learned after a while that that's just not... You know, often in life, you cry when you're caught off-guard. That's where I need to be when I'm acting, too.
It's good to actually cry. Trust me, I've had a lot of practice over the years!
I was good at keeping my mother from crying.
