“Never listen to anybody who try to discourage you.”

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.

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.

There’s an answer, if you reach into your soul, and the sorrow that you know will melt away.

Traveling gives you some perspective of what the rest of the world is like. I think that having the courage to step out of the norm is the most important thing.

It doesn’t take courage to find peace in the arms of destiny. It takes faith.

It would be sad if we lost our instinct and our courage to love and protect.

I went through a long period where I was afraid of doing things I wanted to do, and you get your courage back, which is what’s important.

It is a tragedy that we live in a world where physical courage is so common, and moral courage is so rare.

It takes more courage to send men into battle than to fight the battle yourself.

I don’t like being stagnant. I want to continue to grow and just be better at what I do, and the only way to do that is to keep stepping outside of your comfort zone.

A coward’s courage is in his tongue.
