“Some people are quick to challenge others but refuse to look in the mirror and challenge themselves.”

To say I’m ignorant only proves your ignorance.

I am the epitome of what you dream to be and the reality of what you can’t be.

Let it all go and let love and happiness in. Put yourself out there all the way and don’t be fearful of losing love.

I didn’t make it to where I am today because of the support, more so because of the lack of it.

My ambitions have ambitions.

Be worried when the haters stop hating and the critics stop criticizing.

Successful people are the one’s that create their own path, not follow someone else’s.

The same feeling you get from succeeding is the same feeling I get from failing, now imagine what happens when I win.

My kindness is my weakness but my weakness is my biggest strength.

One life to live, live it to the fullest. If you have doubts or your gut feeling says something, listen. Don’t waste time, time will waist u.

It’s impossible to give it all you got and fail unless you fail to give it all you got to do the impossible.

Don’t think for one second the change of location will bring you success. If you have the same mentality, you will have the same results.

Never practice something you’re good at. All it will lead to is one major strength with many downfalls.

I never say “get like me”. I would hate for my competition to be on my level. In fact, stay exactly with what your doing.

Life is too short to live it being empty inside, sad, angry, and defensive just to hide your pain.

Just because you are famous and rich doesn’t make you successful.

I need a little criticism while I make a record so that I kind of feel like: okay, I know that I’m doing the best that I can do because someone is actually here challenging it.

I find inspiration everywhere. I love challenges and my favorite thing is to find something ridiculous and be like “if it’s all that I have available to me, I am gonna make it look the best that I can”.

I certainly want campaign finance reform. I just wish this would do it in a way that would stand up to a constitutional challenge.

Presumption should never make us neglect that which appears easy to us, nor despair make us lose courage at the sight of difficulties.

One of the things that I learned is that you never truly know yourself until you challenge yourself.

In my career, there have been three things that were challenging: playing gay; playing a Jewish woman; and playing Anton Chekhov. The scariest part was playing Chekhov!

What is genius, anyway, if it isn’t the ability to give an adequate response to a great challenge?

It was a huge challenge to learn digital painting well enough so that computers don’t pop into mind when one sees one.
