Marriage, even the best marriages are tough.

My mother was the dearest, sweetest angel. She didn't talk; she sang. She was a tower of strength.

I was born and raised in China, and my parents were missionaries.

My father was a good preacher and had a little bit of drama.

I would write plays for my grandmother, who was stone deaf, my mother and the dog, that was our audience.

The best people I know have had a lot of obstacles to overcome.
