I've never had media training and I never wanted to do that. I never wanted to be scripted, although a lot of people do write about me being scripted and being propped up and told what to say. I just talk freely. Everything I've done to date and everything I'll do in my life is what I've chosen to do. Nothing has been dictated to me. I love talking, I'm a chatterbox. If it's not something I believe in and not something I want to do, I won't do it. Show less «
