I come from a family of four brothers, so I like sports.
Republican politics can sometimes feel like you're walking into, you know, an Elks Club or bachelor party.
In high school I was the manager of the football team, so being around boys is natural to me!
I'm kind of used to being around guys on set, and I grew up with a brother who treated me like I was a boy.
The men I worked for didn't look at me as having any gender at all. They regarded me more as a workhorse.
Well, I think it's because I'm an only daughter. I have four brothers, a bunch of guy cousins, and so it's like I was raised amongst men. So I've always gotten along really well with men.
For me, it was kind of like going into the military or something. And anybody - any male - who has ever worked in a French kitchen knows what I am talking about when I say that.
I grew up in a martial arts gym surrounded by men and boys, and I pretty much call myself a tomboy.
I guess my other advice is that it's really good to be comfortable among groups of men! It's just a very common work setting and I don't actually think about it too much, but there must be some comfort level that I've developed over the years.
I grew up in a very masculine environment. So I was around a lot of men, my brothers and their friends. There was just a lot of guys around.
I've always been around dudes and sports.
My grandmother was the matriarch. I was the youngest of all the men in my family, so I kind of used them as examples and kind of emulated what I saw them do. So I didn't have to deal with a lot of bullying because we had a lot of back-up, so to speak.
