No one should judge what I've done with my life, not unless they've been in my shoes every horrible day and every sleepless night.

I wake up from dreams and go, 'Wow, put this down on paper'. The whole thing is strange. You hear the words, everything is right there in front of your face.

I think my image gets distorted in the public's mind. They don't get a clear or full picture of what I'm like, despite the press coverage I mentioned early. Mistruths are printed as fact, in some cases, and frequently only half of a story will be told. The part that doesn't get printed is often the part that would make the printed part less sensational by shedding light on the facts.

When it's allowed to be free, love is what makes life alive, joyful and new.

Follow the Golden Rule. Be kind to your neighbors, love them as much as you would love yourself, do unto others.
