The Carter family history means a lot to me.

I think Compton is definitely a part of my, my family history - a part of me.

There is a history of mental breakdowns in my family. It will never happen to me but it has happened to others in the family.

The thing that interests me most about family history is the gap between the things we think we know about our families and the realities.

My aim is to write my own piece of history - to try to give joy to my family, all Real Madrid supporters and to everyone who believed in me.

I wasn't raised to make history. In high school and family, no one around me was politically involved, and few of my friends planned to attend college or even thought about it.

I like the fact that I'm from the South and that I have this rich history behind me. I come from a family of storytellers. They can't just tell you how someone went to the store. They have to tell you who they saw, what they were wearing, what they said, what they had in their grocery cart.

Having a son has made it all the more important for me to stay in close contact with my family in Texas and Arkansas, whom I know full well voted for Trump. Though I didn't, and have deep problems with this administration and many of them don't. But I'm not going to let that cut the tie from my son to his own history and family.
