I'm not an unkind person, but by the same token, I'm not a people-pleaser.
You cannot let people come up in your face and stop you.
You can't always be the jokester and the doormat.
As women, we need to remember: don't be a doormat!
I always say it's worth doing what you want to do, not letting people manipulate you. It's worth holding out. It's worth having pride.
I know I'm a good person.
When I was younger, I used to just want to please everybody and not want to be an issue or not be considered a diva. I've just grown up and realized you have to look out for yourself and stick up for yourself, and there's nothing wrong with that.
I don't worry about people misinterpreting my kindness for weakness.
I can definitely be tough when pushed. In relationships, you have to take a stand for who you are and how you're willing to be treated.
I've worked with people and I've known people that were really competitive, but I've always said that I take an Elizabeth Bennett philosophy of life - I laugh. I love my job, but if it means hurting someone, I won't do it.
I struggled with feeling confident for a long time, but I think it's important to be strong and not compromise for anyone or a relationship - I'm drawn to that.
Humility is the armour that you clothe yourself with throughout your life. We demean each other rather than lift up ourselves.
I wish I was harder; I wish I didn't care so much about being the nice girl all the time because a lot of the time people can take kindness for weakness, so I wish I had a little bit more 'oomph' in me.
There is no respect for others without humility in one's self.
I am who I am, and I think I have a good nature, by and large. But if someone takes advantage of that good nature, well then, you know, I'm not that nice a guy.
I don't bother about how people feel about me. What matters to me is how I feel about them.
You can't live your life trying to please people. You be courteous and you be respectful, but you've got to do things in the way that you want to do them.
The minute you start compromising for the sake of massaging somebody's ego, that's it, game over.
I learned my values. It's better to be poor than to be beholden. Wealth is not the object of life. You should be polite as long as possible, and when you can't be polite anymore, don't run.
Leave my image alone... I will behave as I think I should and I will not change anything.
It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them.
I don't kiss nobody's butt.
I respect myself and insist upon it from everybody. And because I do it, I then respect everybody, too.
That was Dad. Don't take any dirt from anybody.
I'm not going to be horrible just for the sake of having attitude or make other people feel small just to make me feel bigger.
I do not let anyone use me and throw me.
