She never envisioned a legal career for me, but she did think it was very important that I be able to support myself, and I think she would be pleased to see what has become of me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
She told me that she would support me regardless of what I decided, but I'm so glad that I actually got to be a kid before having to grow up. My mom knows best about this kind of thing.
I know she would want me to still do what I'm doing, because she kept me going a lot of times when I'd almost lose interest in getting out on the road.
Since I was a young girl, I always wanted to pursue law studies. I would have never imagined that my career would have taken a complete different route.
If things had gone according to my plans, I'd be a lawyer. I never dreamt of being an actress.
I tell her all the time I'd gladly retire and hang out with the kids and clean the house. I want to have a good life and great family, and from a professional standpoint I want to be successful, but it's not the most important thing at all.
As long as she is talented enough and passionate about doing it herself then I will be happy and support her. I think I will be sensible - my parents said I could only do it if I got my education and so I had something to fall back on.
I really honestly can't see myself as a lawyer. It's pretty much safe to say I'll never become one.
I wanted to be an independent woman, a woman who could pay for her bills, a woman who could run her own life - and I became that woman.
I've had women come up to me and say I was the reason they went to law school.
I chose to go to law school because I thought that someday, somehow I'd make a difference.
