Now when I was a teenager, I was angsty as any teenager was, but after 17 years of having a mother who was in and out of my life like a yo-yo and a father who was faceless, I was angry.

I was a different kind of kid, oversensitive and all that.

I have never looked at a child and been so angry that I flipped out.

In school, I was the quietest girl ever! I had a lot of trouble in school. Kids were mean to me.

I think that it's okay to be mad at someone who hurt you. This isn't about, like, the pageantry of trying to seem like nothing affects you.

I'm mellower now, I'm over 50. But I don't think I'm too mellow. I'm still angry at a lot of things.

She really mellowed me out that way. We both definitely grew with each other and with the whole experience.

I was angry about the fact that my father would beat my mother on a daily basis, that my mother would take it in turn and beat on me. I was an abused child. I was mad about all those things, very bitter and very angry.
