My parents taught me I could be anything in the world I wanted to be.

My mom always told me that I could be anything I wanted to be. And I truly, actually believed it. And I fought.

My parents always told me to be myself. I was always funny and silly as a kid. And I would always make them laugh. And they always told me to dream big and follow those dreams.

My family never told me like you have to be one thing. What do you want to be when you grow up? They think it's the most ridiculous question. You can be many, many things.

When I told my parents I wanted to be an actor, it was like saying I wanted to be an astronaut. Not because it was highfalutin' in any way - just because they didn't know anybody in that field. They were anxious of a profession they knew nothing about.

I always imagined I could be what I wanted to be.

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

I wanted to be something and prove to girls in high school, and to my mum and dad, that I could be really... spectacular.

Girls see these defined roles they're supposed to follow in life, but when I was a young child, my parents told me I could be anything.

I wanted to be a lot of things in my life.
