The harder you try to become the opposite of your parents, the more quickly you become them.

My parents are opposites who balance each other out.

When you become a parent, you look at your parents differently. You look at being a child differently. It's an awakening, a revelation that you have.

My parents had an experience of life that is as opposite to mine as you can imagine.

Who knows what would have become of me, if my parents had not had their influence on me.

We all end up at least somewhat like our parents, especially in the way we deal with our children.

My parents came from different backgrounds. My father's was grander than my mother's, so my mother had... to put up with the disapproval of my father's relations.

I think we're all a lot more like our parents than we want to admit.

I'm very conventional compared to my parents.

You look up to your parents and you want them to accept you, and you don't want them to look at you in a negative light. So you do things to make them proud and accept you.
