The whole quote is:
"It is hard. You have to fight for who you are everyday.

A&M don't force me to be anything that I don't want to be. And it wasn't always like that." (www.allstarz.org/vanessa/info.htm )

At 14 years of age Vanessa was accepted in the School of American Ballet. She says, "I became obsessed with ballet. But after a while I couldn't get along with my teachers and it became a disaster.
