I was not afraid of what I did not like. To overcome dislike of a thing often satisfied one's feeling of honour.

I had a moment where I was like, 'I'm so tired of waiting for other people to accept me.'

So many people around me would say they cared for the wrong reasons. A lot of people were pulling from me, taking from me and not giving.

From a certain age, I sort of accepted myself for what I was. And although to other people it was like nothing ever goes right, I had a really nice attitude that I'd inherited from my parents, and especially from my dad.

I had no choice in the decision to make myself available. I was not always doing things I wanted to do.

I never resented anybody for being successful.

I needed to give back, give back, give back. I felt guilty about my success. I felt uncomfortable about how easily I had been delivered this extraordinary life that I had.

I think I earned the players' respect, and that's the ultimate in life, isn't it? I didn't care if they liked me or disliked me, as long as I had their respect.

It takes time for people to respect you.

I think secretly I've realized after my time on the planet that I have no control over what people feel about me or need from me, so I just have a more laid-back approach in my apologies.
