A glamorous³ life is quite different to a life of luxury. I don’t need luxury. For years, I was practically broke but I was still very vain and glamorous. And I still am.生活的美丽与否与奢华无关，我不需要那些奢华。有好几年我几乎是彻底破产了，但是我依然骄傲依然美丽，现在依然是这样。

I was completely mental and had just been through so much. I hit rock bottom, and it was enough to send a person over the edge. My mother knew the truth about that day, and she screamed so loud on the other end of the phone, I’ll never forget it. I cried. I told her I thought my life was over and I have no hope and I’ve worked so hard, and I knew I was good. What would I do now? And she said, ‘I’m gonna let you cry for a few more hours. And then after those few hours are up, you’re gonna stop crying, you’re gonna pick yourself up, you’re gonna go back to New York, and you’re gonna kick some ass⁵.
那时我刚经历过很多事，精神完全崩溃。我跌倒了谷底，当时的情况足以把一个人逼疯。我妈妈那天知道情况后在电话那头尖叫着的情形我永远也忘不了。我哭着，告诉她我觉得自己的人生完了没有希望了，尽管我那么努力地工作我也知道我很优秀。我该怎么办？她说：“我再给你几个小时的时间来哭，时间到了你不准再哭，你要振作起来，你要重回纽约，你要回去反击”
