Go where you are wanted and stray from where you aren't. Surround yourself with positive people and environments.

I like to focus on what I'm doing now, which is giving back. I've done interventions with people I've been close to.

Be certain that you're not modeling yourself after someone, but just being who you are meant to be. Go ahead, be weird because "normal" is boring!

Recovery is something that you have to work on every single day and it's something that it doesn't get a day off.

To me, I don't think it does anybody any good to just hide something or cover it up or lie or whatever. I think ... that's what being a role model is all about. It's not about being perfect. It's about speaking about your issues and inspiring others to get help.

You can't love other people until you love yourself.

I think every time you get your heart broken, there's a little piece of it that chips away, and I don't think you ever get that piece back. But I think you're able to bandage it with time and with new people and other things that make you happy.
