“My mother put me on a diet from being ten. No sweets, no pasta, no pizza. And five days before every audition or beauty competition, I wasn’t allowed to have full meals. It was for my own good. I needed a flat stomach, the flatter the better, she said. I smuggled food when I could, when she wasn’t patrolling me, but I was always starved, of food, attention—not for silly things, doctor.

“I was starved of the real thing, attention to what I wanted, what I cared for. She just wanted me to be perfect. I wanted her to believe in me, no matter how ugly or flawed I was. Me. I wanted her to see me and love me, not what she wanted me to become. Then, as I grew up, I stopped trying to win her love. I stopped caring about food. Cocaine kept me thin and gave me the right energy to function. I started to chase success because if I made it up there, on a stage, if one day I were to become popular, someone, that would be my comeback—something to rub in my mother’s face. I made it, without your love. I made it because I’m good at what I do. Because I’m worthy, even if you can’t see it.”
