"I think when people are so hard on you, you start getting hard on yourself. You start getting a little paranoid. But you have to back off to a certain degree. What can you really change? Yes, there are a million things you would say you'd do different but you learn from those life lessons. That defines you as a character. Perhaps I haven't made the best decisions in the past, but at the time you don't know any different. As you get older you can look back and say, 'OK, 'I'm gonna learn from that experience and grow from a lot of the experiences I've been through.'"
