It destroys you when people say complete mistruths about your family.

So much of Sue Sylvester, the angry woman, came from that part of my life, wanting to crush other people's dreams and judging others so harshly, which is always just a way of deflecting your own self-judgment.

Reality continues to ruin my life.

When you - when someone dies in your family and you think you're over it, and then you wake up in the morning and it hits you, 'I won't ever see my brother again. I won't ever see my mom again.' And it just kind of hits you like that.

I've gone through many, many things. I tell you something, that if it doesn't kill you, you get stronger.

Marriage destroyed my relationship with two wonderful men.

What nourishes me also destroys me.

Violence ravaged my life. I was a victim of hatred, and I have dedicated my life to reversing that hatred.

A family going through a divorce, a child under attack by a demon, all these things I could relate to.

The streets made me. They stay at me. There's nothing that's gonna take away from my legacy. I'm sorry. It is what it is. I'm dying this way. With the crown on my head, nobody can take nothing away from me. It is what it is. I am who I am. Bottom line.
