“No matter how much money, fame, and fortune you have, it doesn’t mean sh** if it’s not connected with love.”

I breeze through Twitter – I look at the mentions, the pictures, the videos.

Fantasy is so much hotter than reality most of the time.

There’s always gonna be people that are scared of it. But at the end of the day you give those bullies, those people, that are so ignorant, if you give them the power to affect you, you’re letting them win.

When you dance and move around it creates a different reaction from the audience – they love it.

I want to upset people, I want to make people think, I want to keep people interested.

Conforming is not cool. Embracing who you are and what makes you different is actually what’s really cool.

I have crushes on women all the time.

I’ve sung other people’s music all my life.

The biggest risk I’ve ever taken is going on American Idol and trying to be myse

I am gay, and I’m very comfortable with it.

Carving out an identity for yourself is important so I’m trying to do that as well.

It’s late at night and I can’t sleep.

Life is all about taking risk to get what you want.

No escaping when I start, once I’m in I own your heart

Tis not for us to warn a wilful sinner; We stay him not, but let him run his course, Till by misfortunes rous’d, his conscience wakes, And prompts him to appease th’ offended gods.

What’s infamy matter if you keep your fortune?

Fortune may raise up or abuse the ordinary mortal, but the sage and the soldier should have minds beyond her control.

The man who has planned badly, if fortune is on his side, may have had a stroke of luck; but his plan was a bad one nonetheless.

There’s nothing like the feeling of knowing that you’ve made a difference in someone’s life, even if that difference is a lifetime of nightmares and a fortune in therapy bills.

One must not try to trick misfortune, but resign oneself to it with good grace.

The happy combination of fortuitous circumstances.

Each misfortune you encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrow’s good luck.
