I have had so much at heart. Defeated, not conquered; disappointed, not discouraged. I have but to be more energetic and more faithful in the difficult and painful vocation to which my life is devoted.

I have to reign myself in a lot.

My journey continues, because I've, you know, conquered a lot. And I know how to conquer the rest.

My demons, inner strengths and physical battles have guided me through life.

It's a big theme in my life, learning about myself and being a better person. I'm a work in progress; I have revelations every day.

I can see now that I should have been strong enough to conquer myself.

Well, I believe that the depth of your struggle can determine the height of your success. I was inspired to come out of everything I've been through and end up in a place where I never thought that I would be.

I am writing more than I have ever done. My life has come back to me in the most extraordinary way.

Over the years, I have worked very hard to achieve what I have so far. But I've not been alone in this journey. A lot of the credit for this goes to my fans - it's because of them that I'm here today.
