I used to be able to slim down just by exercising more, but that's changed.

I look around and see the things I have, and I remember not having them. That is one thing that keeps me grounded. I'm definitely the same person I was. . . . I never lose me, I never lose the real person.

when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth- that hero lies in you.

Cause there's a light in me that shines brightly. They can try, but they can't take that away from me.

You really have to look inside yourself to find your inner strength.

Nothing that's ever happened has taken away the optimist in me. It's always, "Whatever-let's go to Disneyland." Yes, I have my bleak, tortured-artist moments, but you have to hold on to what's positive.

I work myself into the ground. But I think I'm a nice friend and a good person, and I try to do my work as best I can.
