Growing up, my dad took me to the opera.

Female empowerment is very strong in my life and that's how I am.

Oh my gosh, I mean, I've had many experiences of men calling me psycho.

I think, personally for me I always work on the next goal and wanna figure out how to achieve it.

My mother's passion for something more, to write a different destiny for a dirt-poor farmer's daughter, was to shape my entire life.

Many children work hard to please their parents, but what I truly longed for was good times that were about us, not about me. That is the real hole the Dodgers filled in my life.

There are times when I'm super-overwhelmed, and everything feels like it's hitting me in the face at once, but I think what's keeping me calm, and who I am by staying true to myself, is my whole family being so supportive and keeping me grounded. They treat me the exact same way they treated me years and years ago.

In my family, we were Americans, we were Republicans and we were Methodists.
