“I’ve been able to find a lot of what I’ve not had before: freedom, bravery, fearlessness. It’s empowering to find those things.”

If we took the time to learn more about different places and people, perhaps we would have more empathy for each other.

We have the potential to help people out of poverty, out of disease, out of slavery and out of conflict. Too often we turn the other way because we think there’s nothing we can do.

Maturity and experience are part of my liberation.

Through the shake of an earthquake I will never fall. That’s how strong my love is.

The smaller you strip things down, the more you depend on the songs and yourself, as opposed to arrangements.

I really like to live my life in a low-key fashion.

I feel the presence of a higher power. I believe that what you give is what you get. It’s universal law. I believe in the power of prayer and of words. I’ve learned that when you predict that negative things will happen, they do.

There was no other path for me. I knew this was my path. I had to follow it.

I’d rather believe in my own choice and see it all go wrong than do something I’m not fully convinced of and later feel guilty about it.

I’m a very caring person.

I feel more like I’m a person who has so much to offer in different capacities that it would be a danger for me not to give myself a chance to spread my wings in all different directions.

All women are NATURALLY, bad ass!

Quiet moments recharge me.

I think we deserve people who really, really love us.

Love will come find you, just to remind you of who you are.

Even if your family isn’t quite there for you, find the people that support you and hang on to those people and try to let go of those that try to take you down.

Be brave enough to change.

Admit the mistake is an act of bravery.

Women are much more capable, braver, sharper, stronger and courageous than we think.

The brave man is not only he who overcomes the enemy, but he who is stronger than pleasures.

Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.

Always be the best, my boy, the bravest, and hold your head up high above all the others. Never disgrace the generation of your fathers. They were the bravest champions.

The willingness to show up changes us, It makes us a little braver each time.

The future doesn’t belong to the light-hearted. It belongs to the brave.
