I seemed so different from other kids; I grew up in church and felt a connection with God, and a lot of kids my age really didn't understand that.

Even as a child, I told my whole family how to improve their looks.

I spent the first fourteen years of my life convinced that my looks were hideous. Adolescence is painful for everyone, I know, but mine was plain weird.

You don't want your children to look at you like you are anything special other than their dad.

From a young age, I wanted to differentiate myself from my older siblings.

Don't try to make children grow up to be like you, or they may do it.

I'm not God - but I am something similar.

I think sometimes when children grow up, their parents grow up. Mine grew up with me. We coexist. I don't try to change them anymore, and I don't think they try to change me.

Some twins feel like they need to compare themselves to each other, but we're not that way. That's because of my parents, though, and having six kids in the family.

As children we recognized that we belonged to an unusual, even exceptional, family, but the effect was different on each of us.
