Listening to great music and art inspires me and recharges me.

I think there's an energy about just remaining excited. Like, you can't be excited when you're not doing something new.

I dream about speaking in big forums about issues that need to be spoken about. I dream about helping others who I know and love, helping them realize their dreams. I dream about being able to express myself through acting and writing, definitely. I dream about bringing more realism into the world. Sometimes I just feel like certain things are so glossed over and covered up and swept under the rug and I just want to bring them out.

At the end of the day, so many things that we hold so much value with, it just doesn't even mean anything. I really try to stay focused on being really positive.

We're all going to change. Otherwise, it's boring. Who wants to stay the damn same all their life?

I was so deeply involved in music, I had already outgrown all the pressure of high school cliques and gossip.

I know people who've gone to jail. It don't mean you stop loving them! They deservin' love just as much in there, and maybe they needin' it more.
