Gabourey SidibeI've always wanted a normal life, and this is what I got. Being an actress wasn't a plan at all, so what's happened to me is very strange. Life isn't very normal, even though I'm still very much a normal girl. I ride the subway, I ride the bus, and all of that. It's the people around me that have changed.

You don't want me to get help for whatever reason you don't want me to get help. But I'm out here, and I need to get help.
