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.
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.
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 didn't realize I was working in a family medium.
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!'
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.
My dad was the 10th of 11 children. My mother has three brothers. My dad was a salesman, my mum was a school nurse.
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 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 sergeant with the Connecticut state police. My mother was a hairstylist.
