My parents, especially my mother, were no influence on me whatsoever.

My mother wasn't controlling at all. She was a stabilizing force who grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania. Now it's the big circle game. Taking care of her is a great blessing for me. I'll tuck her into bed, kiss her on the cheek, wipe up the mess on her blouse from whatever she spilled.

My mother never really thought I could become anything.

My mother did all she could to control me, but at age 14 she sent me to a military school.

I don't want anyone controlling me.

My mother didn't know what to do with me.

My mum has never wanted me to have children. She thinks I would be destroying my life, even now.

In my life, things have happened to me. I've never felt I was controlling anything.
