我一直知道我想成为一名歌手，我从不允许任何人告诉我我不能。
I always knew I wanted to be a singer, and I never let anybody tell me I couldn't.
A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life.
I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly; but I don’t see any chance of it just at present.
我不会因为别人希望我成为别的样子而改变自己。
