Quote

I was just a regular kid in poverty, struggling.

Born poor, but of honored and humble people, I am particularly proud to die poor.

I come from a poor family.

I've been to those places where it's 'poor, pitiful me.'

I'm scared to death of being poor. It's like a fat girl who loses 500 pounds but is always fat inside. I grew up poor and will always feel poor inside. It's my pet paranoia.

Anybody who has children and children who are well feels a sense of responsibility towards parents and kids and families that are struggling and that aren't well.

Who, being loved, is poor?

I've experienced poverty and plenty, and there's a lesson to be learned when you're brought up in poverty.

The rich swell up with pride, the poor from hunger.

I'm not sympathetic. I have zero sympathy. I understand about emotional eating, I understand how painful the process can be, but I also understand that change is possible.
