Love bravely, live bravely, be courageous; there's really nothing to lose.

Optimism is a choice. Cynicism isn't smarter - it's just safer.

I wrote the song 'Angels Standing By'... to try and soothe myself - rock myself to sleep, basically - because I was so scared and stressed.

What we believe as human nature in actuality is human habit.

If you love somebody; You better let it out; Don't hold it back; While you're trying to figure it out; Cause the only real pain a heart can ever know; Is the sorrow of regret; When you don't let your feelings show. So, did you say it, Did you mean it?

To shut down the ability to feel pain means you shut down all emotions, joy included. It makes our hearts feel small, it robs us of our joy, and really keeps us no safer.

On my own I generally have very messy hair, wear jeans and sneakers.
