I get through difficult situations by looking at how other people have gone through them. I say to myself, 'If they can go through it, then I can.' Or, If they can go through worse, I can go through whatever I'm going through.

I've gone through a lot of stuff in my life so far. There are stories I haven't really been able to tell.

I hate telling that story to people who've been struggling for years.

Usually what is difficult for me are things that make me feel scared. That's when difficulties rather than challenges arise.

I've been through a lot of struggles.

I might go on discussing this subject at great length, but after all is said, done, and written, my own book of experiences will best show what these obstacles are, and how I managed to overcome them to some extent.

I've always believed in working hard, and I'm grateful that people seem to connect with the kinds of stories I'm passionate about telling.

The type of stories I write are about young people grappling with the biggest problems in their lives, often problems that are bigger than they're actually capable of solving.

I think everybody encounters difficulty. It's just more pitched in some people.

My childhood had its challenges, like everyone's. It imbued me with certain things and took away others. It made me very determined.
