“I do that for myself, I do that for our two children, and [I do that for] Bruce, who would not want me to live any other way. So I don’t want it to be misconstrued that I’m good, ’cause I’m not. I’m not good. I am just doing the best that I can always. Your pictures are making me happy. I am just doing the best that I can always. Your pictures are making me happy.
