“For me the most important thing is being a really good person, and that doesn’t depend on what you do on stage, that depends on how you treat people when you’re offstage.”

When you’re younger, you’re more selfish, because there’s so much self-exploration, you’re in your own mind.

It is important to ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing and what purpose it serves in the big picture.

Always look forward and try to push pass the negativity. I think everyone’s beautiful and they deserve to be happy no matter what.

I tell people, you know, going to the club doesn’t make me a bad person, going to church doesn’t make you a good one.

I think that if you’re doing something that’s important, that’s significant in your life, it takes some of the pain away.

Life is all about having a good time.

But I don’t necessarily define my faith by going to church every Sunday.

I know what I’m doing. I know I’m shocking you.

I think there are always going to be things that you’re going to want to do. It’s about picking yourself back up and starting again.

You deal. You survive. You grow up and you build a career. And you remember these big/little hardships. They make you human.

Even the hard times are part of your life story. If you acknowledge them and move past them, they eventually add up to the experience that makes you wise.

There’s no better feeling than making somebody smile.

There’s so much negativity in the world and what you only need to hear is all the love.

I understand… the pressure is definitely hard, but I think just keeping your head on your shoulders is easier than it looks. I think if you know who you are, then I think you’ll be fine for the rest of the way.

Beauty is the enemy . We try to conquer not feeling beautiful all our lives. It’s a battle that can’t be won. There’s no definition of beauty. The only way to achieve beauty is to feel it from inside without breaking down into individual physical attributes.

Nobody notices your sorrow, your pain, but everyone notices your mistakes.

The characteristic feature of all ethics is to consider human life as a game that can be won or lost and to teach man the means of winning.

A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.

He no longer acts from self but does what is right – what is universally and eternally right.

He is poor who is dissatisfied; he is rich who is contented with what he has, and he is richer who is generous with what he has.

When I was younger, the pressure was just being cool. I never thought of myself as a cool guy. I always thought of myself as more of the goofy guy.

Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.

The better ambitions have to do with the development of character and ability, rather than status and power. The status you can lose. You carry character with you wherever you go, and it allows you to prevail against adversity.

The truly self-possessed, however, are free from the whims of fate and chance. Calmly, they affect their will, and with strength of character and purity of intention, they attract to their person solely positive outcomes.
