I hope to write someday and that’s even more terrifying than performing. You don’t just entertain the audience, you give them little bits of your soul.

...because a life without meaning, without drive or focus, without dreams or goals, isn't a life worth living.

I don't think I've ever tried to be something that I'm not. People do that for you. People try to pigeonhole you. People tried typecasting me, before they even saw me in anything else. I've never understood that. I was like, "Why don't you wait until my next project, before you start telling my what my career is going to look like, for the next 10 years?" I've never let it set me back because I always knew the world would try to do that for me, anyway.

You'd think after thousands of years on this planet the human race would have released some kind of handbook for teenagers, telling them how to get through teenagehood and get help for their issues. Yet here we are, struggling through it in our own ways.

But one of the big lessons I have learned from my journey is you can’t please everyone, so don’t try.

You've got to show the world who you are before it tells you. Otherwise you become victim to someone you're not.

A voice that was never wanted has become a voice for so many people who don’t have one.
