Forgiveness is the needle that knows how to mend.

I was homeless and I was in San Diego and I started singing in a local coffee shop and people started coming to hear me sing.

I was Renee Zellweger's fat doppelganger. If she ever played in a movie where she needed to be fat, apparently I could be her stunt double.

I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead.

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.

I want love to be simple. I want to trust without thinking. I want to be generous with my affection and patience and love unconditionally. It is easier to love a person with their flaws than to weed through them. I want to love the whole person, not parts; and this is how I want to be loved.

Live your life with love and bravery and you shall lead a life uncommon.
