I think it's really great when you stand up for something that you really believe, even if you get heat for it.
I'm not going to be bullied or pushed around by the group of the day. You've got to have political courage. You've got to have your own inner beliefs.
You have to stand up for some things in this world.
I stand up for what I believe. I don't know if it's always paid off for me, because I've been ridiculed and humiliated.
If someone is going to criticize what you've written and you believe in what you've written then you should respond.
I've always fought for what I believe in. I used to get made fun of for dancing, and I would argue back, or fight the kids, or do whatever I had to do to shut them up. I have that in me.
I'm not going to be bullied into not doing what I think is right.
I learned that when you stand up for what you believe in, you'll get a lot of support. But there are always going to be negative things said about you.
