Who I Am Quotes - Page 19

• For me, I just never put all my eggs in one basket, so to speak. I know that music and acting now are things that I want to do for the rest of my life. But, if suddenly that was to stop, I'd actually be okay. It's not the be all, end all of my life. I know who I am, outside of this, and I think that's a really big thing to have.

It's just about yourself, you respecting others, and hopefully everyone else will follow that and respect you, as well.
