In the beginning, though, I have to admit that I did have a chip on my shoulder. I did want to prove everyone wrong. But after I went through the process and came out the other side, it wasn't about anyone else.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We came in today with a chip on our shoulder to prove who we are.
I had to prove myself to a lot of different people.
A lot of people thought I was going to be a one-hit wonder, so I had that chip on my shoulder.
Most people figured I'd be in jail. I've been proving people wrong my whole life.
And they asked me to take a polygraph as to the allegations and reports I'd made. I volunteered and I took the polygraph and passed it without a glitch.
I have to prove myself to everybody.
I once choked on a chip at a friend's birthday when I was seven and had to be sent home, as I'd broken my collarbone coughing.
I was so adamant about proving myself for so long and I've gotten to the point where I don't have to do that as much.
They did it to try and belittle me, to try and to take away my pride. But I went through the whole system with them. And at the end, I - I wanted the public to know that I was okay, even though I was hurting.
I have a huge chip on my shoulder.
