I was definitely different from the other kids... I was more ambitious. I knew what I liked and what I wanted, and I worked really hard. I was a very serious kid.

Truly, from a very early age, I started distancing myself from other kids, not out of willingness, but just out of the nature of my energy. I liked to do things solely, and I already had a taste of the quest for perfection, which is unusual in a little kid.

There were always kids better than me. Because of that, I had to learn to be a role player and do my part.

I have a lot of nieces and nephews. I was always around kids. I was like the family babysitter because I was the only one that wasn't married.

I was something of a problem kid. I was emotional, wild, rebellious at school. I'm very touched by kids who don't have advantages; they are much more interesting than kids who have everything. They have a lot of passion and emotion, such a strong will.

I was always a little adult. Even as a little kid, I just couldn't understand why I was surrounded by all these kids. I took things very seriously.

I was a regular kid with a normal family life.

I was always very different from the other kids. I have an I.Q. of 156. I didn't play sports. I thought big. I thought I could achieve great things. I don't want to sound megalomaniac, but my whole life is about doing something for the world, from as far back as I can remember.

There were so many occasions when I wasn't around for my kids or my husband. But we learnt to work around it.

I didn't have a good childhood because I never could get along with other kids. I was the child that sat in the corner eating lunch by herself.
