I don't have siblings, which is probably the biggest reason why my parents were able to give the attention to my career that they did.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In some ways, siblings, and especially sisters, are more influential in your childhood than your parents.
I consider myself lucky to be an only child because if I had other siblings, my mother would not have been able to take me to every audition and be so supportive of my career.
My career has always revolved around what I do and don't want my sisters and brothers seeing me doing.
My parents grew up working class, but in that way that working class families do, they spent a fortune on education to better me.
I've never had siblings, I didn't grow up in a big family; it was just me and my single mom. And hectic family dysfunction was actually something that I craved.
My parents never looked at my acting as a career. They saw it as a way to help provide for the household.
My parents were very proud of me. After they passed, my career doesn't mean as much to me.
My siblings were a bit younger than me, and I was always entertaining them and making up stories.
My mother worked in advertising and my father was a journalist. But they split up when I was three and I grew up in a single-parent family. My mum brought my brother and I up.
I come from a middle class family, and my parents weren't too supportive of my career choices.
