I think I developed language skills to deal with threat. It's the girl thing to do-you know, instead of pulling out a gun.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Language failed me very often, but then, the substitute for me was silence, but not violence.
Dudes know I'm not a threat. Chicks know I'm not a threat.
And also I think particularly as a female, you're taught to be defensive your whole life. You're taught not to be aggressive.
I did so many things that made me a threat.
I have never made a threat. I've never made a threat, never expressed a threat, never - I've never - I would never threaten violence ever, because I am a man of peace, dedicated to peace.
I went through a lot of bullying early on. Girls made my life a living hell. We had come to America from a different country. My brother and I had accents. It was very tough.
We were too young to know better, and none of us were very aggressive people. It would have helped a lot if just one of us had been aggressive enough to say no.
You've got to be able to act when it's necessary to act. And you've got to be able to act where the threat is.
I trained with the FBI in Portland and I also had many conversations with female FBI agents in Los Angeles, as well. That was again something that also came in very handy for Basic, because I'd learned already how to handle a gun and how to behave just physically when you're in a situation, a threat. That was very good to know.
I saved a girl from being attacked last night. I controlled myself.
