No one makes me do anything I don't want to do.
I never do anything that I don't want to do.
Change is a threat when done to me, but an opportunity when done by me.
There's something magical about putting yourself into life. You've got to stand up and take responsibility for your own life and you cannot abandon that.
I am not a passenger in anything I do.
I was just hoping to have the freedom to do my work.
I believe that we all have freedom to shape our own life and the world around us.
I don't do nothing I don't want to do.
One of the things I stress to those I meet, especially young people, is that we are the heroes of our own lives, and we can be the masters of our own stories.
I think women have every right to feel like they're the protagonists in their own stories.

One is responsible for one's own life. Passivity provides no protection.
You are a little god on earth running around.
You are the architect of your personal experience.
Human freedom involves our capacity to pause, to choose the one response toward which we wish to throw our weight.
I'm never going to do something that I don't want to do, because I've been given the opportunity to not have to do that.
Freedom looks differently when you are the one it is being practiced on.
I think the future is whatever I'm willing to make it.

Shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you're just gonna live in it, versus embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it.
If I wrestle in 2020, I want it to be my own decision and not the IOC's.
Remember, no matter what you background is and what your current circumstances are, you have the capacity to take action. This is one of the golden threads of humanity - we all have the power to act in a way that will improve the quality of our lives.
I only can control what I can control.
When you're independent, you're with somebody because you want to be there not because you feel like you have to be there.
Either you are creating your life or the circumstances are.
