I was raised to speak out about politics and the world around me. I would do it whether I was in the public or not. It is the way I was taught. The American way.
Tiger parenting is all about raising independent, creative, courageous kids. In America today, there's a dangerous tendency to romanticize creativity in a way that may undermine it.
Ironically, parenting is a shame and judgment minefield precisely because most of us are wading through uncertainty and self-doubt when it comes to raising our children.
My parents were divorced when I was a young teenager, and I was raised by a single mother after that. So, I understand the difficulties that families have. I understand single parenting.
It amazes me that parents are allowed to raise kids. There's so much power and often very little accountability.

I really admire the way the fans have joined me in social justice endeavours and the charitable work that I've been involved in. We've raised over $100,000 on Twitter for our non-profit in Uganda.
I was raised a Catholic. But I am not religious. In my work, I am interested in real flesh and blood.
On a piece of prose, you have to work at least six hours a day. I don't know how you can do that and teach and raise a kid and paint the house.
We cannot look backwards. What we have to do is raise our heads, look forward, roll up our sleeves and work.
I am often criticized, or at least questions are raised, about what appears to be the absence of the Holy Spirit in my work.
