I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I just want to be reasonably successful and live a normal life with all the conveniences to make it so.

I'm not better than anyone else. I'm not supposed to be on a pedestal. I've always stayed away from that.

I don't come from a position that I am better than everybody; I come from a position that I had a tough upbringing. And I don't always highlight it, because I just never wanted to be that person with another rags to riches story.

Not only am I constantly seeking better performance but also to be a better person, to be respected.

You have to hone your craft, but you also have to be born with a certain amount of talent, and I never took the talent for granted - I've always worked really hard to be as good as I could be.

I think... I'm perceived as an everyperson. There is no pedestal. I'm no different from anybody else.

You have to be nice to everybody, and then people want you to succeed.

I try to be a nice person, but it's difficult sometimes.

But I'm trying to play into this role as much as possible and be a nicer person in real life.
