I've made mistakes, and I know why I made them, but I made that choice. Nobody's ever made a choice for me.

I've been very lucky, from the beginning. I've found that as long as you're fundamentally good - as long as you're not being bad to people - people give you a lot of room to be yourself, because being yourself is being honest. And that's what people want to see.

I try to be a good person. I know what my downfalls are, so that's a good thing.

I made mistakes. I let other people influence me and make decisions, sometimes without my knowledge.

I make sure I always surround myself with good, down to earth, fun, real people, who always keep me grounded.

I think you can do something bad, and it doesn't make you a bad person. We are not defined by any one choice. We are the sum of our experiences, and we can make a bad choice and turn around and do better.

In my own life, I'm pretty good at choosing between good and bad. It's the choices between good and good I find the most difficult to make.

I surround myself with positive, productive people of good will and decency.

I make mistakes - I have made a lot of mistakes - but I am a good person, and I will persevere.
