I did come from a pretty independent-minded family.

I think my father would have liked to have been an artist, actually. But I think he didn't quite have perhaps the drive or, I don't know, I mean he had a family to bring up I suppose.

I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family it says they're looting, if you see a white family it says they're looking for food.

There are just so many stories that are buried on family trees.

I do not see my family life in any way, shape, or form as an opportunity for a photo.
