“I have to believe in myself. I have to be my biggest advocate or I would crumble.”

“I am the biggest fan of my dreams. If I give up on myself, then my dreams have died...I will not let that happen.”

“I don't blame anyone for not believing me, if I had not experienced it myself, I would not have believed it myself.”

“I believe in life and in people. I feel obliged to advocate their highest ideals as long as I believe them to be true. I also see myself compelled to revolt against ideals I believe to be false, since recoiling from rebellion would be a form of treason”

“I don't blame any one for not believing my history. If I had not experienced what I have, I could not have believed it myself.”

“I have a very steadfast tendency to parent myself, to monitor my development into the person I want to be. I try to keep the corruption minimal. And though I advocate learning from my mistakes as much as making mistakes, I also try and make sure my mistakes do not cost other people.”
