My parents gave me a strict upbringing, which at times has caused me to suffer distress but today I am grateful to them for it.

I never force myself to dance or sing.

I was afraid of not living up to what people expected me to be.

You can be barefoot and have worries.

My mother wanted me to be friends only with children she considered socially suitable.

If people don't like me, I become very plain.

Was it me that Botticelli imagined?
