It Really Hit Home That My Parents

I Think People Have Always Liked In Me The Combination Of Being The Underdog Because I'm A Tiny Woman But I Have Enormous Authority In Myself.

Everybody Either Wanted To Take Care Of Me Or Push Me Around, You Know? I Was Teased A Lot, Sure I Was, Of Course. Fourth Grade, Fifth Grade, Sixth Grade, Everybody Was Taking Their Spurts Except Me. I Was Not Growing Up.

I Aspired To Be Extremely Sophisticated.

It Really Hit Home That My Parents Felt As Though They Didn't Have To Worry Anymore. They Realized If You Could Win An Oscar, That Was A Good Sign.

When I Was Growing Up, Particularly During Puberty In My Teen Years, I Was So Miserable Because I Elicited So Much Teasing And Meanness From My Teenage Cohorts.
