"Just because I am a celebrity doesn't mean I can't say, 'Sorry.'"
"I don't go by or change my attitude based on what people say. At the end of the day, they, too, are judging me from their perspective. I would rather be myself and let people accept me for what I am than be somebody who I am not, just because I want people's approval."
