Today, I have earned the respect of many and have been very conspicous in the general public for the various things I do represent.

I am comfortable with my level of public discourse.

I compete with myself, people will judge whether I deserve to be on the scene or not.

You know why I fear people’s judgment? Because I know they’re judging. I know they are.

I had to come out and be seen to defend my name and who I am as a person. That’s important for me to do, and I’m not going for less.

But I'm pretty secure about who I am. Anything that's truthful I'm not ashamed of.

Now I know the public's perception is equally important and I am willing to hold myself to the highest moral standards.

Because of my job, I learned to be confident a little earlier than most. People pick you apart when you're in the public eye - you're wearing the wrong shoes or you have ugly nail polish on or they're wondering if you got your boobs done - so you have to be a strong person right away.

Although I am ready to defend what I have said, many people expect me to defend what others have attributed to me.

I was once afraid of people saying, “Who does she think she is?” Now I have the courage to stand and say, “This is who I am.

Sometimes, I do things and people wonder what is wrong with me, but I always have my reasons.

You judge yourself by what your capable of doing, while others judge you by what you have already done

I'm comfortable with who I am. I know my limitations, but I also have enough confidence to challenge them

I know how I look like. I know how I sound. I know how I walk. I'm just gonna be me. I do me, and you do you.
