“It’s okay,’ you know? It’s okay to be you. It’s okay to just not be okay. It’s okay to not be okay.”

I don’t expect to seem cool to everyone; nor do I want to be. I think that’s the opposite of the definition of cool. So I don’t care at all.

Hateful, racist and ignorant remarks. When I hear people criticize without knowing the context, it makes me boil inside.

I want to be an actor, I am just not very comfortable talking about myself.

I know who I am. I have a very strong sense of self.

This weird thing happens when you’re in a movie that has some level of success. People start offering you all kinds of things, and they just expect you to do them because they’ll be good for your career. It’s not about the project’s integrity or anything like that.

I don’t believe in censorship.

One of the greatest struggles of becoming an adult is figuring out what you want to do and what makes you happy. The courageous thing is to stick with it and see it through and see if you were correct.

I think we want to be around people that kind of push us and inspire us and maybe teach us.

If you follow your heart, you’re never going to regret anything, even if you completely mess up constantly.

There’s no way to be prepared for a conversation with someone you don’t know about something that means the world to you.

If you didn’t have anxiety, then you wouldn’t have passion for anything. The reason we have anxiety is because you care and you’re thoughtful.

I think romance is anything honest. As long as it’s honest, it’s so disarming.

Beauty is more than just shining for others. You don’t need to have the perfect face to be beautiful. Being ugly or beautiful is a matter of energy, and true beauty comes from the heart.

I think it’s ridiculous that you need to look a certain way to be conventionally pretty.

If you respect yourself and you love yourself, that’s the only way anybody else is going to.

Just don’t hold back. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes and stuff.

Broken hearts are what new dreams are made of.

I can turn heartbreak into songs that help other people.

All my movies are achingly personal.

Thank you so much for breaking my heart because you got me four Grammys.

If one does not attach himself to people and desires, never shall his heart be broken. But then, does he ever truly live?

Heartache is my constant companion, and we’re perfect for one another. Two co-dependent peas in a pod. My past and my future.

Maybe an image is worth 1000 words, but some words are worth 10,000 tears.

Let me be the one who can mend your broken heart, save us from the trouble.
