I have 8-year-old twins, and I want them to grow up in a world where they can be anyone they want without any shame, without holding back, without being judged for it.

I always felt safe and protected. My dad is 6'6" and 280 pounds, so I basically felt protected, and I aspire to have my kids feel the same way.

I would encourage my children to protect themselves if there's any sort of physical abuse against them. I would definitely go speak to the perpetrator, and if the perpetrator was a child, I'd speak to their parents. But I ... Oh my God, I don't know what I'd do if I was privy to watching my kids being bullied! I would do what any parent would, I'd be like a grizzly bear protecting his cubs.

If you feel like you're not where you want to be in your life, rather than step on someone else's, raise your stature.

Hateful people put fear in other people.

Even though [bullying] doesn't actually raise your stature, it might make you feel that way.
