Camryn Starr: Inside the Outside [ON HOLD!]

Where did it all start?

I'm writing this book in dialogue form because writing it like a book is so boring and it takes forever! I hope you guys really enjoy this book! I watched many YouTube videos of my favorite celebrities interviews and was touched by some of their stories. So, I decided to put them all in here and just put a spin on it! Enjoy! And make sure you vote, comment, and share! XOXO

*knock on the door*

Camryn: *goes to the door and opens it*
Oprah: Hi!
Camryn: Hi! Come in!
Oprah: Thank You! *comes in* Beautiful home!
Camryn: Thank you! How have you been?
Oprah: I've been great! How are YOU!
Camryn: I'm good! Im really enjoying life right now!
Oprah: That's good. That's good.
Camryn: Do you want a tour of the place?
Oprah: Yes!
Camryn: Okay, come on! *walks into the living room*
Oprah: Wow!
Camryn: So this is the living room, where we do all of our living!
Oprah: *laughs* Oh my! *walks over to a cabinet* So these are all of your awards?
Camryn: Yes.
Oprah: Wow! So when you look at these, what do you see?
Camryn: Um.. It really all depends. Um.. that one *points at a grammy* was the first Grammy I ever won.
Oprah: And what do you see when you look at it?
Camryn: Um.. a 22 year old that was living his dreams and was in it for the music!
Oprah: What about this one? *points at an AMA*
Camryn: Wow! That was my "Artist of the Year" award. I really don't know! Um.. I think I was happy! I really don't remember, that was a dark time for me.
Oprah: Why was it so dark?
Camryn: That was just a crazy year for me. I was away from home. I was getting no sleep. I started misusing drugs. That was just a bad time in my life.
Oprah: And you've overcome that?
Camryn: Yea! Rehab really helped! Friends and family were also there helping me each step of the way. I really think that the love helped me overcome that time period.
Oprah: Good! Good! So let me ask you something!
Camryn: Anything!
Oprah: Your 26 years old right? Why are you still living with your mom? You know your young, and pop star I might add! I just expected a lavish penthouse over looking Central Park!
Camryn: *chuckles* Well I'm never home actually! I don't have time to look for a place! And it's good to be able to see my mom while I'm in town so I think this is the best place for me right now.
Oprah: So where did it all start?
Camryn: Here! I grew up in this home my entire life!
Oprah: Wow! So this house is a part of you?
Camryn: Oh yea! That's why I'm not really in a rush to get a place.
Oprah: So if we were to be here about 10 years ago, you'd be 16, what would we see?
Camryn: Well I'd probably be sitting right over there playing the piano. *points to piano*
Oprah: *walks over* So this is where it all started?
Camryn: Yea. When I was 4 we were at a funeral, and a man was playing the piano and I was fascinated with the sound of it! I begged my parents for one of those "black shiny things that makes noise", and they finally got me one. A mini one of course! *laughs* And from there I played my heart out. As I got older my Dad asked would I want to go take lessons. I said yes and he put me in the right away! I was really good and I was improving weekly! My teacher talked to my dad about getting me a piano for at home. So me and my dad made a deal, that if I could learned to play "Thunder Road" by Bruce Springsteen on the piano, he would lease me out a baby grand. That was our favorite song!
Oprah: So you and your father had a close relationship?
Camryn: Yea. We - *tears up and sits down*
Oprah: *sits down next him*
Camryn: We um... we were very close.
Oprah: So what happened?
Camryn: When I was 9 he lost his job and times got really tough, he began to drink and gamble, and he just left! No explanation, nothing! Just left.
Oprah: And how did that effect you?
Camryn: It still affects me. But I do remember being so mad at the world.
Oprah: How did you cope?
Camryn: My mom and I were out one day and we were passing a record store. I remember running in and going through all the records. But there was one record that I played that described exactly what I was going through. "Dance with my Father" by Luther Vandross. *starts to sing* If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him, I'd play a song that would never ever end. How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again.
Oprah: And that helped?
Camryn: Yea. Whenever I'd miss him I'd play that song. It was as if Luther Vandross wrote that song just for me.
Oprah: Great! Okay, let's take a break and we'll be right back!
