Education was the most important value in our home when I was growing up. People don't always realize that my parents shared a sense of intellectual curiosity and a love of reading and of history.

Education is a shared commitment between dedicated teachers motivated students and enthusiastic parents with high expectations.

Parents should continue to become more involved with their communities and more involved in their children's education.

What I got which was unusual especially as a child actress was parents who believed that Hollywood was not that important. They told us education family health all come first and they meant it.

As far as I was concerned the Depression was an ill wind that blew some good. If it hadn't occurred my parents would have given me my college education. As it was I had to scrabble for it.

Education begins at home and I applaud the parents who recognize that they - not someone else - must take responsibility to assure that their children are well educated.

Whenever a youth is ascertained to possess talents meriting an education which his parents cannot afford he should be carried forward at the public expense.

I feel very lucky because of my parents and then my education the opportunities that I've had so I would like to continue working to improve lives for others.

I was so lucky to have parents who supported me 100% with whatever I was doing both financially and emotionally. Having that they made my life so much easier. Instead of becoming a bartender and trying to survive while trying to pursue your dreams I didn't have to worry about that aspect. I could just pursue my dreams.

It has been my observation that parents kill more dreams than anybody.
