“Hypocrites always wanna play innocent.”

Don’t be a hard rock when you really are a gem!

See fantasy is what people want, but reality is what they need. And I just retired from the fantasy part.

We’ve got to protect the music and make sure it never gets exploited.

Once you compromise yourself in one way, you compromise yourself in another way. And you’ve just opened the door to compromise, mediocrity, settling.

Consequence is no coincidence.

When you’re young and everything dramatic is exciting, you start to believe that hype that, in order to be an artist, you have to suffer. I’ve graduated from that school.

I am up there onstage alone with that guitar. I don’t have to consider no one else and whether they are comfortable. I need very little.

You don’t know how much artists go through to make it look so easy. It’s all in the practice.

I find, even though it’s raining, I just go outside. I look outside and I’m just so blessed to see it and to experience it, because for such a long time I was just indoors.

Miscommunication leads to complication.

I am just beginning to be more comfortable with my identity.

A friend once said, and I found to be true,That everyday people, they lie to God too, So what makes you think, that they won’t lie to you.

Reality is easy. It’s deception that’s the hard work.

We don’t want people to have expectations of us, but then we have expectations of everybody else.

And deep in my heart. The answer, it was in me. And I made up my mind. To define my own destiny.

God teaches me about reality, so when he tells me to do something, I do, because I’m led to.

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.

You ain’t seen nothing yet, and the best is yet to come.

Choose the positive. You have choice, you are master of your attitude, choose the positive, the constructive. Optimism is a faith that leads to success.

My general attitude to life is to enjoy every minute of every day. I never do anything with a feeling of, ‘Oh God, I’ve got to do this today.’

Greatness is never free; it must be earned.

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.

There seems to be an attitude problem, as if we cannot shake ourselves out of a mindset of limited achievement.

You were born to win.
