My family has reduced the effect of my career on my self-esteem. When I'm with them, they make me feel special regardless of how I play.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been so fortunate in my life that my family has never been jealous of my success. They have shown true love and commitment to me by being supportive. They shared in it.
My family means everything to me and the birth of our daughter has enabled me to have more focus on my career and every time I compete, I dedicate my success to them.
My family responsibilities don't conflict with my career. Not at all.
My family is out of the ordinary in our physical lifestyle and the day-to-day things that we deal with, but my approach to them is pretty rational and sound. And I'm the quiet one! It's very different from my performing life.
My family is my career.
I've always tried to fit what I do professionally into my family, rather than the other way around.
My career has always revolved around what I do and don't want my sisters and brothers seeing me doing.
So I developed very early a massive inferiority complex, and I've told the story often about how that inspired me later in life to get involved in other things, because I couldn't out-do my brothers in sports, and it's a very competitive relationship.
I don't have siblings, which is probably the biggest reason why my parents were able to give the attention to my career that they did.
My family pride is something inconceivable. I can't help it. I was born sneering.
