"What is teaching me is the fact that we have to learn how to turn around negative energy into positive energy. On a very small scale, for instance, people used to call me 'Dragon Lady'. And I didn't answer that one. And one day I said, 'Thank you for calling me Dragon Lady, because the dragon is such a powerful animal. And thank you for thinking I'm so powerful.' From then on, nobody called me Dragon Lady."
