For so long I just let people surmise what they would about my life and my choices, and other people have written books and told tales.

It's a disservice, really, when we put celebrated people on a pedestal and don't allow them to be human. It's a very lonely experience for the individual. It's not a sustainable way to live.

I grew up very conservatively and traditionally. I wanted to save myself for marriage.
