I have no interest in feeling like a trophy. Money itself has never been attractive to me; instead, I prefer ambition and integrity.
My father’s failures inspired me the most and still drive me. He worked for 10 years, but wasn’t invited to award functions, forget being nominated. So winning even one trophy is a high for our family.

I don’t have relationships for a very long time. I’m famous so that gets in the way. They either really like the spotlight and having a trophy girlfriend or they will not really be crazy for it.
