One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered.

I can get sad, I can get frustrated, I can get scared, but I never get depressed - because there's joy in my life.

One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but cannot be taken way unless it is surrendered.

There's always this one girl. She's desperate and she's weird and she's jealous, and you're stuck with her, no matter how hard you try to get her off your back. Just throw some really fucked-up self-esteem issues into the mix and you have Kara.

You really have to look inside yourself and find your own inner strength, and say, "I'm proud of what I am and who I am, and I'm just going to be myself."

Pity is a benign form of abuse.
