If you're being attacked by something on the outside, which I feel a lot being in show business, you just have to dial it back and breathe and know that you are protected.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In the end, you have to protect yourself at all times.
It is a scary world out there, and believe me that if someone were to try to come into my house, I want to be able to protect myself.
You have to protect it too, you can't let just any stupid person take it and do something demoralizing with it. At the same time, I don't believe in being so rigid about controlling what happens either.
I believe that every person, male and female, needs to be in a protective mode at all times of alertness to potential danger. The world is full of potential attacks, potential disasters.
In this situation I was constantly exposed to danger and death.
I haven't physically attacked anyone in a couple of years.
When I'm forced by circumstances to be in a crowd of prisoners, it's all I can do to refrain from attack.
It's a very unnatural environment to be in, up on a stage. So you put up defenses to hide. Like looking at the ground with your hair in your eyes, or being tightly wound and quite aggressive and uncooperative, as I used to do.
You can't defend. You can't prevent. The only thing you can do is detect and respond.
You have to protect yourself at all times. What goes around comes around.
