Came Quote by Giada De Laurentiis

“I had a very tough childhood. I came here from Italy in the '70s and didn't speak a word of English, so the kids at school tormented me. Truly, it was horrifying the names they called me, and the teachers never really did a thing to stop it.” quote by Giada De Laurentiis
