“I have a mother who allowed me to take in anything and everything that needed food, a bath, or a forever home, which resulted in a home that was always filled with warmth and love regardless of any other struggles we were presented with.”

I’ve done a lot of independent travelling, which hasn’t been the best career choice, but it’s been a really great life choice.

I think we are all overcoming tiny obstacles every second of every day even if that means just a small shift in perspective.

Animals don’t have a voice, so I think it is our job to give them one.

I enjoy feeling physically strong, so maybe I’d like to be able to lift a building and launch it at someone.

What we do to animals, we do to ourselves.

I have nobody. I have surrounded myself with people who are fake just because I need to talk to somebody.

I think it’s time we take a step back and recognize that while we are hurting our animals, we are hurting each other, and we are hurting our planet.

We have such an amazing future ahead of us.

The frenzy of the little-girl culture is something very unique, and I can only say that because I was one. The obsession – I can’t really explain it. Everything is heightened to the maximum.

Reusing and recycling our materials is the most important thing we can do.

I think the greatest lesson I have just recently learned is how powerful the mind is, informing our decision making unknowingly.

Jackson [Rathbone] is the most artsy, creative and, I think, the most talented.

I don’t want any special powers. I’m powerless. I wouldn’t want to see into the future, I wouldn’t want to know what anyone was thinking, ever! And I don’t want to relive my past.

At the end of the day, that’s our sole purpose and our sole reason for existing, is to love somebody else.

Once I realized that the only thing I can actually control in this life is my own mind, how I choose to react, feel, and perceive, I felt immediately liberated.

I think the best way to invite people into the conversation is to just create something beautiful out of love, and people naturally gravitate towards a new way of looking at fashion.

I grew up in Marcy Projects in Brooklyn, and my mom and pop had an extensive record collection, so Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder and all of those sounds and souls of Motown filled the house.

Becoming a mom forced me to re-prioritize and make room for the things that are most important, while recognizing that there are things I can let go of, and the world won’t crumble around me.

Mom used to say that politeness is deception in pretty packaging

A child cannot pay for its mother’s milk.

When mom and dad went to war the only prisoners they took were the children

Become familiar with your home, but know also about your neighbors. The young man who never went anywhere thinks his mother is the greatest cook.

I’m a father, a son, and a grandson, and if anyone messed with my wife, mom, or grandmother, and if the law didn’t care about it, what would I do? Would I be defined by that action?

My mom just wants to make sure that my heart is always in whatever I do and I’m in things for the right reasons.
