I've been singing Shakira songs in front of my bathroom mirror into my hairbrush forever. It's like a daily routine.

The world doesn’t owe you anything. You have to work for everything you get and you have to appreciate every bit of success the world gives you.

You start to realize that the things that are different about you are the things that make you special. And, as cliche as at that sounds, you realize that if you are lucky enough to have something that is different about you...don't try to hide it. I don't try to blend in anymore, it's all about standing out.

Sometimes in love it just gets to the point where I have to give up. I have to give up trying and I have to give up believing because I know things won't change. To me, giving up isn't being weak. Giving up is being strong enough to let go.

I was from a small town, and nobody really expects you to leave, especially before you graduate. That doesn't happen.

It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair.

If you're lucky enough to have something that makes you different, don't ever change.
