My parents had to work hard, and I was always looking for a way to make it big - for their sakes as well as my own.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My parents were hardworking. They made every penny stretch as far as possible. That was probably the major reason everything they gave me was always two or three sizes too large.
I always dreamed of making it big.
My parents are both average size. For them to have a child who was very, very different and very, very small must have been incredibly hard.
My parents were very well-off, but we didn't have a crazy-huge house. We didn't have thousands of workers and staff; it was just my mum doing the majority of the housework. We didn't have nannies. I wasn't brought up in any sort of extravagant way.
I had a really hard time growing up; we were a large family, and we didn't have much money at home.
My parents pushed us very hard to work, both in the home, doing chores and cooking, and at school.
I grew up in a good family with good parents, and I was able to dream big and have the support to live it out.
I was in seventh grade, and getting a part in Full House was huge. It opened so many doors for me.
It's so much easier to have no expectations than to have big ones.
I became obsessed with making more and more tiny things. I think I was trying to find a way of compensating for my embarrassment at having learning difficulties: people had made me feel small so I wanted to show them how significant 'small' could be.
