My parents have always told me to work hard. My father was a friend, a very good friend, but when he needed to be a father, he was.

My parents instilled a very strong work ethic in me from a young age, fortunately.

I think that I was raised by two of the best people ever. My mother and father are just the definition of hard work, like what hard work brings to you. They've taught me and my brothers and sisters to set your goals high and to give everything to reach them.

Being a parent is the hardest job ever in life.

My parents had a great work ethic.

I think I had really good parents. I got really lucky. They said, 'You're a woman; enjoy yourself and believe that you can do things.'

My parents were just as smart as I am, just as hard working if not harder; I think my father and grandfather were probably better men, yet I've been able to accomplish things professionally that they were not able to.

I always tried to do things by example, even though I was not a very good mother regarding routines and family life.

I'm a parent, especially when you've had the intense parenting the way I had. It's all in the bank. It's all in the great experience bank. Those are your secrets. That's the stuff that makes your work rich, that's what you dip into.

My parents grew up working class, but in that way that working class families do, they spent a fortune on education to better me.
