The climate of today is not really focused as much as it was then on being able to speak about different cultural issues or different situations that were going on politically.

I don't dream - only if I'm uncomfortable or I'm going through something.

We listen so much to everybody - more than ever, because we have a kabillion voices whose opinion we can access - and we care so much if everybody agrees with us. To bust through all of the noise is very challenging.

All of us are different. That's what makes us interesting and special. I don't want to be anything like another person. I want to be totally myself and go against the grain, forge my own path. I've learned that being different is what makes you stand out. It makes everything so much more intriguing.

Moments are so fleeting; I want to hold on to the good ones. When I am truly present, I feel alive, and I want everyone around me to share that feeling so we can make the most of that moment together.

I'd rather not have anything than be a liar.

Everything's gonna be alright.
