Where I came from, no one was a writer.

I came from a communist country where there are no luxury cars.

It's rural America. It's where I came from. We always refer to ourselves as real America. Rural America, real America, real, real, America.

Reflecting on where I came from helps me to appreciate and balance what I have now.

I wanted to tell my story and where I came from and my background, because it was not easy.

I came, I saw, I conquered.
