Getting into my teen years, I was filled with so much shame and pain that I got really involved with drugs and alcohol. I was hanging out with the wrong people and getting involved in the wrong relationships and everything just sort of spun out of control.

No matter what projects I'm taking on, I want to (do) things to help other people.

It's hard to be vulnerable in front of the whole world because everyone's a critic.

Those that are the hardest to love, need it the most.

I went through a lot of abuse and a lot of really difficult things growing up - depression, anxiety, attempted suicide.

I know some people need counseling but not everyone can afford it.

When you get knocked down you get knocked down in Round 1 of life, there's Round 2.
