I was authorized to do everything that I did.

I let people know that it was all right to do the kinds of things I did.

I can do whatever I want. They will tell me if what I am doing is stupid or a total waste of time. I may tell them that they are wrong, and we will come to an agreement.

My parents made me believe I could do anything I wanted to do. They were really into empowering me.

My parents pretty much realized that I would do whatever I wanted, and that was it, really.

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 think you end up doing the stuff you were supposed to do at the time you were supposed to do it.

They said just keep doing my thing, don't try to change anything, which I won't.

When you were under contract, you did what you were told to do.
