There is a bit of me if I'm pushed in one way I might bounce back and go the opposite.

I don't like to hold back, because that's how you hurt yourself.

I'm a strong person, but I'd never resort to violence.

It's particularly hard to take being stabbed in the back close to home. There's always a feeling of betrayal when people of your own group oppose you.

In the beginning, people think vulnerability will make you weak, but it does the opposite. It shows you're strong enough to care.

I've got a lot of people I'm carrying on my back, but it's a light load because I take a lot of pride in who I am and where I came from.

I think when people see that you are shy, or even just calm, collected and reserved, they think you can be pushed around, made to do everything they want - but that's definitely not true of me. The people closest to me know that's not the case. They know I'm not a pushover.

People who know me know I'm strong, but I'm vulnerable.
