In my teenage years, there was a lot of angst going on.

I definitely wouldn't consider myself a professional, but I like to dress up like one.

My friends actually used to call me the 'Female Conor Oberst.' I got to open up with him once, and I told him about that, and he thought it was hilarious.

In some ways, being on the road is like summer camp. There's a camaraderie, but I'm also learning how to be more of a leader.

The majority of the new jobs being created require higher skills, more education.

I find the education I got from living in Derby and being streetwise and knowing the people that I know, the lessons that I had to learn growing up, have set me in good stead for this kind of working life.

My mom and dad were 'helicopter parents,' literally. Meaning, I didn't have a nanny, so I went up in the helicopter. My entire early childhood education consisted of tagging along while they reported on car accidents, multiple-alarm fires, and shootouts.

Don't encourage 8th-, 9th- and 10th-graders to forgo education just to go to the G League.
