“Some girls like to say one thing and mean another. And me being who I am, I’m very straightforward. Everything is very black and white for me. I don’t really like playing mind games.”

Whenever anything went wrong at home, because I was the only boy, I would get blamed for it straight away. Girls stick together.

My new year’s resolution is definitely to quit smoking. I need to do it.

Never live life in fear of death.

There’s so much more to the book than the page you were stuck on.

When fans start screaming when they see me it makes my heart smile.

I was a bit of a handful when I was a kid because I was quite hyperactive. Even in the house my mum used to put me in my pram because I was so full-on.

I want a girl who doesn’t know that she’s beautiful, so i have an excuse to let her know all the time.

Before you judge people, judge yourself.

I am the most jealous boy in the world, when I’m with my girlfriend. I always kiss her so that the other guys know she’s mine

Live for who and what you love.

No matter how hard life is, don’t lose hope

I like girls that are chilled out, that dont really care, that are just cool

I like the term ‘misunderstood.’ But I am a bit of a bad boy.

Life is funny. Things change, people change, but you will always be you, so stay true to yourself and never sacrifice who you are for anyone.

Life is a funny thing, the minute you think you’ve got everything figured out something comes along and turns it all upside down.

If people talk behind your back, it’s because you’re ahead of them.

Some negroes lie, some are immoral, some negro men are not be trusted around women – black and white. But this is a truth that applies to the human race and to no particular race of men.

Until things are brighter. I’m the man in black.

The old church tower and garden wall Are black with autumn rain And dreary winds foreboding call The darkness down again.

A child born to a Black mother in a state like Mississippi… has exactly the same rights as a white baby born to the wealthiest person in the United States. It’s not true, but I challenge anyone to say it is not a goal worth working for.

It’s her black wings that make her beautiful.

Perhaps some are confused because they have stereotypes of how blacks should be and I respectfully decline, as I did in my youth, to sacrifice who I am for who they think I should be.

You didn’t think of angels as white or black. They were angels.

She was a restless soul, born with black wings and gypsy heart.
