Character Quote: I know who I am, and who I may be if I choose. -page 157
While growing up, I wanted to be invisible because I knew that I was different from the other kids, and because I knew my parents were ashamed of me. But later I found out that not everyone felt that way about me. Acting gave me a chance to try being all those other people that I thought I could be. -page 156
