I'm in the spotlight, but not the truth. That's hard to accept, but that is unfortunately kind of how the world is and how the media is. Whether it's with Hollywood, whether it's with sports figures, whether it's the president, that's kind of how it works. I'm realistic and I understand that. That's why it's important for me to know who I am, to know I'm living my life the way I want to live, and that I am happy. At the end of the day, I can't really let myself get too angry about outside opinions that are or aren't true.
