I've heard I've been called a bad boy, or difficult.

I think I'm very hardheaded.

I knew from the time I was a young girl that I was destined to be a writer. I'm incredibly stubborn. The more someone tells me I can't do something, the harder I work to prove them wrong. My father's nickname for me when I was growing up was 'Hardhead.'

I was called really horrible, profane names very loudly in front of huge crowds of people, and my schoolwork suffered at one point.

Back then I was called Dumbo because of my ears. I was called Fatty, too. It was hurtful so I became like the class clown. I became the one who was kicked around.

I don't mind being called snobbish, a pain and a social climber, but being called unkind really hurts.

I'm always described as 'cocksure' or 'with a swagger', and that bears no resemblance to who I feel like inside. I feel plagued by insecurity.

I'm crass, contemptuous and crude, obstreperous, obnoxious, rambunctiously raw and rude.

I have kind of a personality defect in that I find the word 'no' hard to articulate.
