So the more that people can reach out to you and let you know that you're not alone, it's really important. For me personally, I had a very close knit group of friends who I went to have dinner at their house that night so that I wouldn't be by myself. Actually, my minister at the time said, sent me some Bible verses.

It was just whatever way in which you can pick up somebody, I think it's really important for people to know that, that they can be very helpful to others. I didn't sleep at all because my phone was ringing off the hook all night. My home phone, reporters were trying to find me, wanting to get comment. The next day, I didn't know what to do with myself.

So I actually drove to one of my lawyer's houses and stayed there with them all day just for comfort. But the way in which my case immediately got world attention, was nothing that we ever expected. We knew it would have attention, but we didn't know it would be that much. But the biggest thing was we didn't know that Fox would announce that they were going to start an investigation.

That was huge news because we just assumed that they would deny everything and call me a horrible person. I mean, that happened, but they also said that they were going to start an investigation. And so it immediately sort of took this interesting turn where I was thinking, wow, like maybe I'm not going to spend the rest of my life crying my eyes out, right?

Maybe this is going to turn into something good. And so it was like almost from the beginning, an unexpected thing happened. And then it just morphed into more unexpected. And my alleged perpetrator was fired within two weeks. It was unbelievable.

If anyone has ever listened to Garrison Keillor or read his books, Lake Wobegon is my hometown. It's Anoka, Minnesota. It's a suburb of Minneapolis. At the time, like 14,000 people, not a big town at all.

It was an idyllic upbringing with the Protestant work ethic, which was my mom said to me every day, you can be whatever you want to be in this world, but you're going to have to work incredibly hard. And so I believed her. I grew up thinking, I'll be president of the United States. Why not? And that was so important. I found out later in life that lots of kids are not told that.

And so it came with the caveat that you're going to have to work really hard. So I worked hard my whole life from early on. I played the violin early. I started when I was six and it just happened to click. And I started practicing hours and hours a day. And from my music, I developed immense discipline in my life.

And it gave me immense self-confidence going out on stage and doing so many competitions because the more I practiced, the better I got. And that made me realize that when you invest time in things and effort, you have rewards. And so that was really important in my life.

Also what my mom would tell me every day, but there was a moment when I was in kindergarten on the first day of school where unfortunately back then the teacher divided the kids into two groups. The kids who could read and the kids who could not read. I don't think they do that anymore, but she unfortunately put me in the wrong group. She put me in the kids who could not read.
