Like so many kids, I just wanted to fit in, and I see now that I spent most of my life trying to be what I wasn't, trying to get people to like me.

I was so worried that people wouldn't like me or my story.

I was this kid who never sat down. Nobody liked me? Well, I'd make sure they'd like me. I was the class clown, always doing crazy stuff and causing riots.

I was afraid of not living up to what people expected me to be.

I wanted people to see me, to change their minds about me.

While I was doing stand-up, I thought I knew for sure that success meant getting everyone to like me. So I became whoever I thought people wanted me to be. I'd say yes when I wanted to say no, and I even wore a few dresses.

I don't know what I've done that has made people so interested in me, more than anyone else.

I worried that people wouldn't like me. Now I try not to worry and focus on being happy.
