If you never know hardship, you can't really support people around you.

I know what it's like not to have food in the fridge or money to buy more.

As a child I really didn't like men at all, in fact.

My appearance gave me access to a particular kind of world and I'm really grateful for it.

Because of my childhood where I was constantly by myself, I always feel lonely. I have a lot of people that I absolutely love and I know love me but I can't get rid of that feeling of loneliness no matter who I'm with - even with my children.

When you become a mother, you think less about yourself and care more about the world.
