[on her experience in school]: “I got along with some people, but a lot of kids disliked me in school. I’d be doing TV since I was six, and I think they thought that I thought I was better than them. That was never the case—I didn’t even talk about TV in school! I’d be walking down the hall, and they would yell at me or push me into the wall. It really hurt. So I was afraid to go to school. I would stay in the guidance counselor’s office for lunch, just because I didn’t feel like I had a place.”
