I had my shortcomings - crazy hair, braces, bad skin and all that stuff. I went through it all.

I went through an awkward adolescence and had braces.

Growing up, I saw my dad do charity work for children with health issues. That had a profound effect on me.

I had a lot of failed relationships, a lot of unhappiness, a lot of shame and embarrassment, bad self-image stuff.

When I was a child, I wanted to be an actor, but I had really bad buckteeth. I didn't want to get braces, but my mom said I couldn't be an actor if I didn't get the braces. So, I got the braces.

I was naturally skinny and had braces, so I wasn't a cute model.
