"That was the tricky part, because I could have written a novel on a novel on a novel of my life, but it's like, okay, what parts are people going to care about? What should I expand on? What should we, you know, just maybe brush over, or not put in at all? It really was a collaborative effort between myself, my team, my manager, Mark - so much help on it. And the publisher, ultimately. You know, we submitted everything, and they're like, "Okay, this is maybe a little too much childhood. Let's cut back here, but go deeper on this subject."

But I think that some of my friends, more than my family, were surprised with certain things. They're like, "Wow," because they never knew about the Hooters lawsuit and so many other things that I was involved in. A lot of my friends just got to know a different side of me, and I loved that so much. I wrote this book so everyone could learn more about my life and why I am the way I am. But it was really cool to have some of my closest friends realize that they didn't know so many of these things that were touched on in the book."
