I was on a game show and now I'm the game show girl who got a movie. That's how I consider myself.
I didn't grow up with great privilege, nor did I grow up wanting for anything. I was a middle-class kid and, relative to the rest of the world, that's great wealth.
America is a place where you can be born into a low-income household but still lift yourself up, and it doesn't matter what color you are.
