“Everybody shines in different things.”

The trick is to never lose hope!

No matter what these people say about me, my music doesn’t glorify any image. My music is spiritual when you listen to it. It’s all about emotion, I tell my innermost, darkest secrets.

Out of anger comes controversy, out of controversy comes conversation, out of conversation comes action.

A coward dies a thousand times, a soldier dies but once.

Follow the rules or follow the fools.

It seems like every time you come up something happens to bring you back down.

Trust me I never lose. Either I win or learn from it.

The power is in the people and politics we address.

During your life, never stop dreaming. No one can take away your dreams.

Instead of war on poverty, they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me.

Don’t support the phonies, support the real.

Imperfection is inherited, therefore we all sin, but fighting the war of sin is the greatest war of all because we all die in the end no matter how hard we fight.

I’d rather die like a man, than live like a coward.

Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside while still alive. Never surrender.

Don’t live to fight, fight to live.

I want to grow. I want to be better. You grow. We all grow. We’re made to grow. You either evolve or you disappear.

Performing in front of the camera is a different thing, and shooting a whole film is another.

Sometimes I feel like I float in and out of different personalities.

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

I didn’t want to do the obvious role that you see in Hollywood most of the time, which is the heartbroken girl who’s waiting to be rescued by the guy, blah, blah, blah. I wanted to do something different.

Heroes and cowards feel exactly the same fear. Heroes just react to it differently.

If religious instruction were not allowed until the child had attained the age of reason, we would be living in a quite different world.

If you’re even a little bit different than what is considered the norm, then you’re an oddball.

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.
