My mum was an actor until she started having children. I was the first child, so in a way I was the end of her acting career, which hopefully she's forgiven me for. She's still watches my show every week. It's funny because I didn't grow up in a household that felt like a theatrical household. My dad did a normal job and my mum had given up. But when I decided to try and do it - it wasn't the most alien concept.

Henry Lloyd-Hughes

I mean, when you grow up in the inner city and you grow up in a single-parent household, that's - those are humbling times, you know?

LeBron James

When we leap, we must leap as though the net will appear. A leap in life, however big or small, is an act of commitment with the expectation of success.

John O'Hurley

I have no such ambition of becoming an actor. I want to grow as a musician, singer and songwriter.

Anupam Roy

I probably wouldn't be a songwriter if I didn't grow up the way I did. It was difficult and it was at times very scary to grow up in a household so unsettled and at times very violent. But, it also, I guess it earned me a sort of wisdom at a young age that's served me well.

Ray LaMontagne

I grew up in Winnipeg, in the Canadian midwest, the fifth child. It was a great household to grow up in - I was loved to sweet death.

Len Cariou

My mom was Sicilian, my dad was Sicilian. Mom was a great cook, but all the women were.

Chazz Palminteri

I've fondly dreamed of becoming the face of an important brand since I was a child, in the same way that others dream of becoming an astronaut. I dreamed of this as I first and foremost dreamed of becoming an actor and would look up at these huge posters of celebrities while driving along motorways or crossing under bridges.

Xavier Dolan

Ask about music growing up, I'll tell you I grew up playing classical music, and I didn't grow up in a musical household.

Maggie Rogers

Reading is how I became an actor because I didn't grow up in a house where there was an awareness of film or theater. I also grew up in a house full of teachers, so reading was big in our world.

Mary Steenburgen

I didn't grow up in a household where dinner conversation was, 'How did the market do today?'

Chris Gardner

They really just taught me at an early age the values of hard work. Both my parents are two of the hardest working people that I know, so that was a big foundation for me and something I really cherish and it really helped me to grow up in that kind of household.

Blake Griffin

I knew I wanted to be an actor when I was growing up, really. So when I decided to go to university instead of drama school, it was with the intention of becoming an actor afterwards.
