“There’s not a day that I don’t work on vocals, have vocal coaches, go to acting classes, read books.”

People have their own opinions but sometimes with the media things get chopped up and cut around to make stories out of it.

Music is something that always lifts my spirits and makes me happy, and when I make music I always hope it will have the same effect on whoever listens to it.

I want to be a real artist to consumers. I want to be the real thing for them.

I’ve had my run in with trouble. Fortunately, you know, one slap on the hand is usually the last time for me… I learned my lesson.

I was singing in a mall, and I picked a girl to come up onstage with me. As I was grabbing her hand, I fell off the stage. It felt like I was in the air forever, flying like Superman.

Try to bring me down, but you will never succeed because I’m always moving upward. Maybe not before, but now … I am.

Having a dream, living that dream, losing that dream, dreaming again and then having that dream come true again is one of the greatest feelings ever because I`m stronger.

My career is my girlfriend.

I write about my feelings, things that happen in my life and experiences.

The main thing in life is not to be afraid of being human.

I would forgive my mom, but she’s going to have to admit she did some things that were wrong.

I appreciate what I have a lot more than I did when I was younger.

Animals play a big part in my life, on tour or at home.

I’m always studying my craft because I want to be the best at what I do.

When I was 6 years old, I was in a rock band that was horrible called ‘Dead End.’ The name kind of described us. People liked us; we would go and perform at coffee houses and stuff.

I feel betrayed by own mother.

There was more good acting at Hollywood parties than ever appeared on the screen.

Acting is everybody’s favorite second job.

Therapy. Acting classes. Yoga. Strong friendships. All these helped me see and heal parts of me I was trying to hide.

Acting was always a part and faucet of my life. It just comes very natural. I think it’s a good thing.

One good thing about acting in film is that it’s good therapy.

I want to go deep into fashion; I want to go maybe into acting. There’s a lot of stuff I would like to go into.

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.

Practice justice in word and deed, and do not get in the habit of acting thoughtlessly about anything.
