“You can’t live with regrets. It’s about the journey.”

It’s hard to be someone that people talk about and write about, you know? They don’t know me.

We have to go through certain things in order to appreciate life and learn lessons.

It’s in my genes. My mother was an opera singer. I’m clearly dramatic.

when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong and you’ll finally see the truth- that hero lies in you.

Whatever you’re going through in your life, don’t ever give up.

When I saw you, when I saw you I could not breathe, I fell so deep. When I saw you, when I saw you I’d never be, I’d never be the same.

My heart has never been broken, I’ve never broken anyone else’s.

We’ve been expected to be perfect but we aren’t. We’re still human.

One doesn’t remain a teenager forever.

After every storm, if you look hard enough, a rainbow appears.

No stress, no fights. I’m leaving it all behind. No tears, no time to cry. Just making the most of life.

I really rebel against authority.

Never listen to anybody who try to discourage you.

You really just want to know that somebody loves you for you. Sometimes you feel like an ATM machine with a wig on it.

I’m experimenting with my voice. Every day I do different things with it, and if I feel it’s appropriate I do it on the record.

It’s kinda like being on a roller coaster. If you don’t get on the ride, you won’t experience the adventure.

One day the waves will crash around me and take my soul to sea. For on that day death will surround me watching happily.

Everybody goes through their life in different ways. I definitely am having my journey. It evolves and changes. At some moments, I feel totally off center and trying to find my way back.

I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.

I love the streets, and the streets love me back. And when things ain’t going the way they should go, they let you know… and when they happy, you gotta keep ’em happy.

My responsibility, our responsibility as lucky Americans, is to try to give back to this country as much as it has given us, as we continue our American journey together.

Dawn breaks and this heart breaks, too. Yet the sun continues to rise and this heart of mine knows only of the journey down, like an eclipse of the heart.

I believe that God is not lost. He is in the middle with us right now. If people will take a few moments and take this journey, hope will rise up in their hearts. I believe that.

It’s so freeing, it’s beautiful in a way, to have a great failure, there’s nowhere to go but up.
