Yes, you have to be brave enough to take steps that your heart is telling you to take. Because when I decided to go into cricket, not one person told me I was making the right move.

When my birth parents were murdered, I stayed outdoors all night with the bodies.

[Marla, Shar and I] all have had very public breakups, so I think people know they can relate with us in one way or another.
