'I would listen to her talk to me, saying, "It doesn't matter what other people think. You are who you are. It's not going to change. Love yourself for who you are. People are going to hate regardless of what you do.
'You could conform to everything they say, and they're still going to find something to pick. Or you could be yourself and be happy and not listen to what they say."'
