I am no longer going to become a fictional character to please people. That's too much work.

The only way to know is to Live, Learn, and Grow

I was hopeless, now I'm on Hope Road.

You improve yourself and light up the corner that you live on. You may not touch a gazillion lives, but you can light up your own space, light up your home.

I wouldn't even hold my kids sometimes because I didn't want them to spit up on me when I was dressed for an awards show.

I tried to manipulate and control people, and I harbored resentment. I wanted to be forgiven, but I wouldn't forgive others.

Love and this close-knit family structure really helped to give me the confidence. To know that you have family to go back to is a help. It doesn't always happen biologically. Sometimes God gives you family in other forms, but I was very blessed. I have a very strong biological family.
