You've got to be happy in your own skin.
We don't back off obstacles and tough situations, we use them to make us stronger.
I learned that surrounding myself with people who are able to help me is like being surrounded by tangible godliness.
Will and I are yin and yang. He's all sky, vast and bright and soaring, and I'm all earth. I'm here to ground him, and he's here to help me fly.
I don't get afraid in talking about subject matter that may spark controversy, and I'm not afraid to not be liked. I think that sometimes people pay too much attention to being liked, and it's paralyzing.
Worry about being respected, never worry about being liked because that's the trap.
I've always told Will, 'You can do whatever you want as long as you can look at yourself in the mirror and be okay.' Because at the end of the day, Will is his own man. I'm here as his partner, but he is his own man. He has to decide who he wants to be, and that's not for me to do for him. Or vice versa.
I do call upon a little Fish Mooney energy sometimes, believe it or not.
You always have to remember to take care of yourself first and foremost, because when you stop taking care of yourself you get out of balance and you really forget how to take care of others.
Know this, if someone has cheated on you who truly loves you, they have hurt themselves as much as they have hurt you.
