"I was wondering if there was ever a time in your life where somebody you really looked up to maybe didn't accept you as much, and how you dealt with that."
WARREN: Yeah. My mother and I had very different views on how to build a future. She wanted me to marry well. And I really tried and it just didn't work out. And there came a day when I had to call her and say "This is over, I can't make it work." I heard the disappointment in her voice. I knew how she felt about it. And sometimes, you just gotta do what's right inside and hope that maybe the rest of the world will come around to it. And maybe they will, and maybe they won't. But the truth is, you've got to take care of yourself first and do this. Give me a hug.
"She was whispering in my ear, 'it's okay, we've got this, we're gonna get through it.' She gives me a sense of hope. And she actually cares about what she's talking about versus other candidates and other politicians, they seem like they do it for the vote. But for her, it's just this gut feeling you get where it's like, no, she actually cares about what she's saying.
