Please keep an open mind and let me have my day in court.

When all life is seen as divine, everyone grows wings.

I deserve a fair trial, like every other American citizen. A large amount of ugly, malicious misinformation has been released to the media about me.

The teacher always used me as an example to the class of good English and good storytelling because we all had to write the same stories. But she used to make me go out front - which I hated - and read my story to the class and I would get huge applause. Not because of who I was but because they truly enjoyed the stories I wrote.

Success definitely brings on loneliness. People think you're lucky, that you have everything. They think you can go anywhere and do anything, but that's not the point. One hungers for the basic stuff.

Thinking is the biggest mistake a dancer could make. You have to feel.

I was too shy to be around real people. It wasn't like old ladies talking to plants.
