The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom, because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed. ↗

I think some parents now look at a youngster failing as the final thing. It's a process, and failure is part of the process. I would like it if the teacher and the parents would connect more. I think that used to be, but we're losing a little bit of that right now. ↗

And my approach has always been to stand up and speak out on behalf of the economic rights of people. ↗
