When you get knocked down you get knocked down in Round 1 of life, there's Round 2.

Those that are the hardest to love, need it the most.

I know some people need counseling but not everyone can afford it.

My dad abandoned me when I was about two years old. So, he wasn't around to protect me the way I needed to be protected. I started getting sexually abused from the time I was about five years old to the time I was ten. It really messed with my sense of self worth and my sense of all that was good with the world, almost.

My son is not a public figure to me, he is my son. I can't predict what's going to be in the headlines. Justin has always been someone who has to do things his way. And I have to be able to believe he will do the right thing and he will come out on top.

When you hit rock bottom, you have nowhere to go but up.

Oh my God ... YOU are real. Oh my God ... You ARE real. OH MY GOD ... You are REAL! Oh my God ... You're really real!

To my abusers: I forgive you.

I went through a lot of abuse and a lot of really difficult things growing up - depression, anxiety, attempted suicide.

Getting into my teen years, I was filled with so much shame and pain that I got really involved with drugs and alcohol. I was hanging out with the wrong people and getting involved in the wrong relationships and everything just sort of spun out of control.

One day I was 17 years old and I ended up trying to commit suicide and I ended up in the hospital. As a teenager, that was a really scary thing.

No matter what projects I'm taking on, I want to (do) things to help other people.

I really want to help people. I really want to give somebody that hope that they need to keep going.
