In the end, the most important thing is to be true to yourself and those you love and work hard. I mean, work like there's no tomorrow. Train. Strive. I mean, really train and cultivate your talent to the highest degree. Be the best at what you do. Get to know more about your field than anybody alive. Use the tools of your trade, if it's books or a floor to dance on or a body of water to swim in. Whatever it is, it's yours.

I deserve a fair trial, like every other American citizen. A large amount of ugly, malicious misinformation has been released to the media about me.

Always believe in yourself. No matter who's around you being negative or thrusting negative energy at you, totally block it off. Because whatever you believe, you become.

We must wave our banners even higher and belt out our voices even stronger and be unified as people. We're going to make it through this!
