I am certainly vulnerable when I sit down with parents who have lost their children to gun violence. The emotion that they experience is so foreign to me that I find it very hard to say the right things.

Do ballet and play football. Sing and dance. Laugh and cry.

I just try to walk the walk. I try to live every day with the utmost honesty and integrity to myself and the people around me.

Stop the bullsh*t. Stop drawing lines in the sand like previous generations [have done].

We can live nuanced, complicated, exciting lives with no reason for limitation.

I am deeply inspired by the courage and achievements of young people who didn't have the safety nets I had growing up.

I have been so damn lucky to be able to do what I love my entire life. I never take that for granted.
