I became famous almost before I had a craft.

I am proud of what I have got and I need an audience.

In the face of excruciating pain and uncertainty, I never lost hope, and it never occurred to me to stop fighting - not ever.

I feel like a dog who has been to the vet too many times.

But I must never forget how blessed I have been. God has given me gifts and happiness, beyond any of my simple desires. My deepest desire now is to simply live... So with hope and determination, I'd hold on and go on.

Everyday is a good day, just some days are better

Marriages that last are with people who do not live in Los Angeles.
