“They're only words. If you view them as gifts, then you need not accept them.”
“Your whole life is just a group of experiences and impressions, and at some point it doesn’t even matter if the fear you’re dragging around with you is applicable today — it’s of its own entity, and the only way to get rid of it is to confront it. So I wanted to do it, and I’m not going to make a meal of it, but just saying it, I do feel I’m in a place now where it’s brand new territory for me to be authentically who I am. It’s a weird thing, but it’s exciting, and I’m proud to be in this position at this time in my life.” - DJ Qualls
