It was really to make sure that I\u2019m standing on what I believe in, in freedom,\u201d Irving said. \u201cFreedom, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s a word that gets defined enough in our society, about the freedom to make choices with your life without someone telling you what the f\u2013k to do and whether that carries over to nuances of our society that politicians control, the government controls, or things people who are in power \u2014 the powers that may be.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m standing for freedom, so that\u2019s in all facets of my life.
