When I told my parents that I was starting my transition, my Dad said, 'Well that makes so much more sense 'cause I never saw you any other way and now it totally works.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's interesting when you're old enough to take a new, objective approach looking at your parents, frame them in a way where you are actually taking yourself out of the equation and just look at the things that are true about their life.
I've only recently realized that I have a radically different relationship with my parents than a lot of people.
My parents have been with me every step of the way.
I look back on the influence my dad had on my life and career, and I just try to take the best parts of what he had.
My parents are amazing, but when I was like, 'Well, I'm going to be an actress,' and they're all doctors, that wasn't the best and easiest thing to do. I'm sure that I probably went through a year period when I wasn't telling them exactly what I was doing. But that's going to evolve.
Conversations with my mother, father, my grandparents, as I've grown up have obviously driven me towards wanting to try and make a difference as much as possible.
When I was younger, my father told me not to pigeonhole the way that I perceive myself.
For some people, becoming a parent does change them, but it never changed me.
My dad has always been extremely supportive in every decision I've made and much more interested in me picking what I wanted to do.
My dad probably gave me the best advice growing up. I think it's really just keeping your cool in situations and learning to balance everything.
