I like a challenge. I get such a sense of satisfaction when I push myself beyond what I thought I could do.

I had a couple of car accidents when I was in my early 20s, and I used to have such a bad back.

I was very skinny. You know when your knees don't even look like they're attached to your body? Kids at school called me 'Snap,' like my legs were about to snap because they were so thin.

Some people don't operate in that way: they can't understand how much strength comes from being compassionate and lifting other people up.
