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

My parents instilled in me that life was going to be very difficult and that I'd have to work for everything.

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 had a great work ethic.

My parents were strict and taught me the proper fundamentals that I would use in my life. They taught me commitment to work hard.

I think my parents had a hard time dealing with me.

My parents, who were split up, were so good at keeping my environment strong and keeping everything around me not focused on the fact that we were poor. They got me culture. They took me to museums. They showed art to me. They read to me. And my mother drove two hours a day to take me to University Elementary School.

My parents made me believe I could do anything I wanted to do. They were really into empowering me.

I went to school and made good grades and went to college. So I was afforded an opportunity through my parents' hard work that most people don't have.

My parents were very firm about me always getting my homework done.
