This whole thing that's happened to me, you see, this whole success thing..it hasn't yet really compromised the position that I took a long time ago in Texas, that was to be true to myself, to be the person that I...that was on inside of me and not play games.

Never compromise on your values and principles, even if it's the hard way.

You must not compromise your principles, but you must not humiliate the opposition.

If I hold back, I'm no good. I'm no good. I'd rather be good sometimes, than holding back all the time.

After they see me, when their mothers are feeding them all that cashmere sweater and girdle, maybe they'll have a second thought - that they can be themselves and win.

I'm just doing what I wanted to and what feels right and not settling for bullshit and it worked. How can they be mad at that?
