On becoming more confident: "I think I just know myself more. I'm more gentle with myself. I think I naturally have less anxiety now, because I realized that so many of the things that brought it on weren't so scary after all. No matter who the person is or how much I want to impress them, I'm not going to let that rule how I act, how open I am, or what my opinion is. I'm just going to be myself. I listen to my gut. That's all I can do."
