I'm not a person who defends myself very often. I kind of let my actions speak for me.

I am sick of defending myself, and I am not going to keep on doing it.

I'm not interested in defending the position of those who already have money, power and privilege.

You can't defend. You can't prevent. The only thing you can do is detect and respond.

Defending the truth is not something one does out of a sense of duty or to allay guilt complexes, but is a reward in itself.

To be forced to defend oneself is an inherently undesirable position to be in. The focus shifts from ideas to the person conveying them.

Everyone has different ways of defending themselves.

Everybody certainly has the right to defend themselves. That's not to say that they should defy common sense by avoiding or diffusing confrontation. And that's very, very important.

I did not have a reputation to defend.
