Both of my parents are professors and everyone in my family has some fabulous degree of something or another and I couldn't get into college because I didn't know a language.

Instead of hating, I have chosen to forgive and spend all of my positive energy on changing the world.

I have lived my life in a culture that hates fat people.

I think the play actually became bigger than me. No pun intended.
