“In Scientology, you know, you learn to take responsibility for yourself, and not only yourself but others.”
—Leah Remini
December 1997
Well, I didn’t really have any involvement [with the community] prior to getting involved with Scientology in any way. It was just kind of like, “me, me, me!” you know? It’s like, “I’m screwed up, I need help, and screw everybody else!” And since I’ve been involved in Scientology, you know, you learn to take responsibility for yourself, and not only yourself but others. And so the focus gets a little bit off of you and that’s always a good thing—you know, that it’s not all about Leah and my problems and my garbage, so…. And it feels good to know that you actually can make a change, because people can. People can make a difference.
