Summary

This quote highlights how the individual's upbringing had two contrasting influences shaping their character. The mention of being raised by "free-spirited people" suggests an environment where independence, spontaneity, and unconventional thinking were encouraged. On the other hand, the mention of the individual's father instilling a "very strong work ethic" implies a disciplined and determined mindset towards accomplishing goals. This combination of influences suggests a person who values freedom and creativity, yet also possesses a strong drive and dedication towards hard work and achieving success.

The British have been more up for it than the Americans were, particularly with respect to nudity in the show. In Europe there are adverts that show the breasts, so people are less frightened of that aspect of the show. Americans can withstand incredible violence on TV shows - which, as I come from England and Canada, I find difficult to stomach - but they are more puritanical when it comes to nudity on screen.
