That's just how I live my life. That's how I was raised: to demand excellence out of myself.

I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that's how I operate my life.

I was born in Fayette County, over in Lexington, Kentucky, but I was raised most of my life in Paintsville.

I was raised on a ranch in Wyoming, and I've been riding horses most of my life.

I certainly don't live in a kosher home although I was raised in a kosher environment.

I was raised by a mother who told me I was great every day of my life.
