I've been homeless on a few occasions.

I grew up with a family that had very little and were at times homeless.

I have spent a lot of time with foster children over the years - kids for whom I have not necessarily acted as a foster parent.

I have always felt a little homeless. It's a strange thing.

When I was young, my brother David and I were farmed off to foster homes, and I spent time in orphanages. My father abandoned us. Here's the most important person in my life, and I never met him.

I've been homeless. I've worked at 7-Eleven.

I was a kid who did a kid show. Then I went away and raised my child, and the world has never met me as an adult.

When I was in the group homes, I saw some of the kids being moved into foster homes with the potential for adoption. I remember well asking a social worker if I could find a home, too. I was told I was 'too old' and 'no one wants to adopt a 16-year-old.' I felt hopeless and alone.

Homeless people really upset me when I was little. A lot of kids have this reaction, but I would get really worried or sad or concerned or cry.

Homelessness is an issue close to my heart.
