"When I talked about acting, my parents insisted it would never happen. All my young years, I listened to a lot of negative feedback. Why didn't I accept the string of negatives and go deaf to the voices inside me? Well, it's because I had this strong I'm-going-to-show-you attitude.
Some people think my big break came when I got the M*A*S*H series. Well, it wasn't. My break came when I left home. All my young life, my parents would ask: Who do you think you are? Well, I've finally found out."
- Loretta Swit
