I know growing up as a young gay person how much you hate yourself, how much you already think you're different.

No one knew I was gay growing up but I was bullied. I was a cheerleader, fairly popular and considered straight.

My dad was so much fun growing up.

Growing up in a Mennonite background, there's not much media.

When I was growing up in Mississippi - it was good Southern food... but I also grew up with a Greek family; when other kids were eating fried okra, we were eating steamed artichokes. So I think it played a big part in my healthy cooking.

Growing up in Canada, I didn't watch football much.
