Actress SARAH JESSICA PARKER credits her open mind with time spent during her childhood attending protests.
The Sex and the City star would join her parents on regular protests in her hometown of Nelsonville, Ohio.
And Parker believes the protests turned her into the free-thinking woman she is today.
She tells Britain's Marie Claire magazine, "I spent my whole childhood on protest marches, against the Vietnam War; protesting against fast-food developments in my small town; protesting for a woman's right to choose; wearing black armbands to support political prisoners.
"I come from a long line of protesters. So, it has definitely been an influence and I'm really glad of it, because it opened my brain and really made me think about other people and made me politically involved."
