Quote

I'm accepting of who I am and how diverse I am and honoring that.

I'm very respectful of people's views. I know that they're deeply held, and I'd like to hope that people are respectful of my deeply held views.

I have more awareness of other people and, I hope, more sensitivity to their needs. I also find that I'm more direct and outspoken.

I always concentrate on respecting human beings and their lives and the meaning within their lives, and I believe that is something people around the world can appreciate.

We all have a responsibility to advance the process of reconciliation, and as a political leader, I am committed to leading from the front and to continue to take bold and significant steps.

And I like to convey my feelings, my emotions, my experience, the information I have to public use, public opinion.

I'm committed to fulfilling my promises to my people, including my pledge to engage in constructive interaction with the world.

My focus is to try to appreciate the present moment more and more and more.

Who you are as a person has to do with what you think and how you feel. It has to do with how you love and how you care for people.

I've gradually grown more comfortable with who I am and what I am.
