This misfortune you find is of your own manufacture.
Keep hold of what you have, it will harm no other,

I'm still really close with everyone at home and their parents - and their brothers and sisters. I was so, so, so lucky to grow up as part of a community and I don't take that for granted. I try very hard to stay part of it. ↗
My mom grew up in poverty in Oklahoma - like Dust Bowl, nine people in one room kind of place - and the way she got out of poverty was through education. My dad grew up without a dad, with very little and he also made his way out through education. ↗
My mom has always said that the one thing she wishes she had done differently is have a job. She felt like the single-mindedness made her a little nuts sometimes, and she could have used an outlet for herself when we were little. ↗
My mother and father always supported my passion for acting. I think they just kind of expected me to move to New York and become an actress and have all these adventures. ↗
