| 1 | "Sometimes, to get the happy ending, you have to go through hell first. In my darkest days, I faced death. Desperate to stay sane, I recited my favorite story, 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame.' I was Quasimodo, locked away. Only difference was, he was innocent, while I was actually a monster. I promised God that if I got a second chance at life, that I would do good. And I’m still fulfilling that promise to this day." |
| 3 | "My last performance was a thrill like no other. I never had much fun. But the most thrilling part has been seeing Jenny McCarthy up close. Wow, I was starstruck. I still can't believe I'm on big stages. I actually started out as a fighter. My uncle taught me how to box, and I train harder than anyone. And one day, I became a champion. Decades later, I retired my gloves until I was asked to train a Hollywood leading man. And eventually, I wasn't just training the leading man. I was the leading man. I had no business being a big Hollywood star. But hey, no one's stopping me." |
