I grew up with no money. No money. I always struggled and had the sense that there was this other class of people who went to college - this was when I was younger.

People assume I'm out there having this great life, but money doesn't erase the pain. When you're young you barrel through life, making choices without thinking of repercussions. A few years down the line, you wake up in a certain place and wonder how the hell you got there.

When I was 12, all I wanted was to be good at school, and to do something admirable, something you can't take away from me because I'm not popular or beautiful enough.

I thought that being popular in school was just so pathetic. I knew I had a future over and beyond the horizon of that school.

From a pretty early age, I developed an interest in travel. I told my parents I wanted to live abroad, and they said, 'Well, you have to have money to do those things.'

Money makes life easier but I don't want to be rich, not at all.

Money's important. Everyone cares about money. And when you don't have money, money becomes the overriding obsession of your life.

I grew up in an affluent suburban world and never worried about money until I'd grown up and found wonderfully original ways to screw up my life.
