I grew up kind of self-supported, that kind of environment, because my parents both worked for airlines.

My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about 7.

My parents come down to Los Angeles a lot.

I haven't actually spoken to my parents since the hurricane.

My parents would never throw the kids in first class for the flights; they'd be up front, and we'd be economy - we knew we were lucky just to be travelling.

I call my parents twice a day when I'm away.

I always stay with my parents. When you come home, you gotta do that. It's weird to be like, 'Hey, I'm at a hotel. Drive 20 minutes to see me, and we'll have dinner.'

When I was young, my family didn't go on outings to the circus or trips to Disneyland. We couldn't afford them. Instead, we stayed in our small rural West Texas town, and my parents took us to cemeteries.

I miss my parents a lot. I obviously don't see them loads anyway because they live up north. But knowing that they're only a couple of hours away is a lot different than knowing that they're 12 hours away.

My parents actually wanted me to join the service.
