My parents were very, very, very strict.

The way I was parented did affect my parenting - probably in the reverse. My dad was pretty strict, and the next generation probably wants to be less strict.

My parents were always very strict, and they gave me the right beliefs in how to treat people. It was very strict and all about morals - I try to pass that on to my own children.

My mom was definitely very strict with me.

My mom was very strict when I was growing up. I could not talk to boys until I was 18. I had to study and work hard.

My mother was pretty strict. I hated it, but maybe it made me a bit more sensible.

I am the only girl in the family so everyone pampered me.

I don't think that I could ever be a strict dad. I never grew up with anybody strict in my life... I'm not saying I'm a role model by any means or anything. I think the fact that I wasn't told what not to do all the time - my spirit kind of told me things that I shouldn't - I got to develop on my own. It's part of your common sense.

I was a good kid. My parents laid rules out for me, and I followed them.

When I was seven, I was allowed to be an extra in 'Parenthood,' which was amazing. But then I kind of got addicted to it, and my parents didn't want me to want to act. They felt that would be putting your kid in an adult world.
