That's what I think I am: a lot of fun - a lot of fun to be with.

When I'm feeling down on myself or not feeling good about who I am, or maybe something happened and I'm feeling depressed, I eat to fill that void. Afterwards I'll beat myself up about it. I regret doing it, but I'll turn around and do it again.

I was sheltered, and there's good and bad to that. The good was not getting into the drugs and the alcohol and the really sorry stuff, and the bad was finally coming out into the real world and trying to deal with it, which was hard for me.

I was two when we left Indiana, and I don't really remember it that well.

I can be happy with who I am, not what I should be, or what I might have been, or what someone tells me I must be.

People tend to put entertainers on pedestals. We're human beings, just like you. You may see us smiling, and whether we have money or not, we still have bills to pay, we still have our stresses. I think a lot of people want to focus on others' shortcomings to make themselves feel better. And it's a very sad thing.

I was very independent growing up, but there were things that were bothering me that I never told anybody. I would talk to our animals at home.
