There's so many parts of my life that I've struggled with - that so many millions of others struggled with - about being an outsider, about feeling ugly, about having to overcome looking different to other people.

All of us suffer difficulties in our lives. And if you say to yourself 'find a way,' you'll make it through.

My difficulties belong to me!

I faced quite a few challenging times, and in front of those, I was more positive than some people not facing those conditions. I'm actually of the belief now that it is that struggle that offers you that open-hearted hope.

When people are struggling, that's a painful place to be in, to not know who you are and where you belong and what you desire.

I have faced up to what I am.

Mostly the problems when I was down were caused by myself. There were times when I was not responsible enough or decisive enough.

I've been through a lot of struggles.

People have always found me challenging - I don't know why, when I am only being myself. I don't understand why they find me so annoying but they do. It is pity, but that is how it is.

If you look at my life, generally, I've been put in situations which were difficult and which I conquered.
