Day after day, I spent long afternoons in the talent pool, being told how to walk, how to talk, how to sit.
About my career I was serious and earnest, sometimes impatient.

The main cause of my difficulties stemmed from the tragedy of my daughter's unsound birth and my inability to face my feelings.
