“I make many mistakes. Many mistakes. I'm not a perfect human being. I have to learn from my mistakes. And a lot of the ones Ive made have been public. So I always get nervous when people speak about something that sounds like a role model, because I dont know if Ive been a great role model myself. I dont think I have in certain aspects of my life. But I'm trying to do better. I admit to my mistakes. I admit to the things that Ive done wrong. I admit it. But I'm trying to do right by myself and my life now.”
