I became a rescuer as a child, and it was what defined me, and it was what I grew up being most proud of was that if there was a situation where somebody needed help, I would rush in and I would help and I'd become completely absorbed in that person's problem, and without really realizing that part of that was to distract from my own problems, because if you're looking after somebody else's, you're not looking after yourself.
