My grandmother and both my parents worked in Bollywood.
Dad was a bus driver, and when he finished work he would repair cars.
We were all miners in our family. My father was a miner. My mother is a miner. These are miner's hands, but we were all artists, I suppose, really. But I was the first one who had the urge to express myself on paper rather than at the coalface.
My dad was a dentist but I wasn't a hygienist. I assisted my dad.
I come from a family of professional dog-showers, one step above carnies, but I didn't want to join the family business.
My mum, Kathy, works as a GP and my dad, Mark, was a high school maths teacher. He now manages mum's practice and is also my cricket coach. We are a close-knit family.
My mom is a script supervisor. It's like the family business. It never had that feeling of entertainment. It was always more like, "Eh, it's just a movie," with that crew mentality, which is, "We've done it before and we can do it again."
My father was a tailor, my mother a machinist.
Well, for one thing, you know my dad was a cop.
My mother was a seamstress, so making clothes was not something you would willingly go into.
Everyone in my family used to work with some kind of tool in their hands every day. That's what we do. That's what I did before I got into acting.
I couldn't really get a grasp on wrestling at a young age. I knew it was what my parents did, and they fought people. It scared the crap out of me, so I thought, 'No, I can't do that. I'll get beaten up!'
I had a consuming ambition to possess a miller's thumb. I believe I have never since wanted anything more desperately than I wanted my right thumb to be flattened as my father’s had become, during his earlier years of a miller’s life.
I didn't realize I was working in a family medium.
Growing up, I didn't know anybody who didn't have a miner in the family. Both of my grandfathers were miners.
My dad was a jingle writer, and my mom was a jewelry designer and musician.
My mother's family raised grains and crops. My father's grew sugarcane and mangos. So I knew more about the basics of farming than of acting.
My folks were busy. My dad was a teacher, and it was during the Second World War, and my mother was working. So I got my stories from films and books. I read a lot, and I love to read to this day.
I come from a family of working professionals: my dad is a chartered accountant, and my mom is a professor.
I grew up on a ranch in Walla Walla, Washington. Except for one lawyer, I don't remember anyone in my family being anything else but ranchers.
My dad was the 10th of 11 children. My mother has three brothers. My dad was a salesman, my mum was a school nurse.
My dad was a builder, so I didn't have any connection to the arts at all. I never really considered film as a career, but I knew I didn't want to be a builder.
My grandad was a miner. My father, brother, and uncles all work in industry.
Every family in Konya has at least one shoemaker in their midst, and I am one of those families.
My father was a schoolteacher and my mother came from a teacher's family.
