Make sure you tell the people you love that you love them. Loudly and often. You never know when it might be too late.

As a citizen, you have a duty to ask what is true and what is false.

Nurture your own confidence and make it real; don't pretend to be someone you're not.

I even feel grateful for the failures.

I think everyone should pursue their dreams. Whether you want to play football, act, sing, become a writer or whatever you have burning inside you as you’re growing up, you should pursue it.

If you are at a boys' school, especially, there is a level of bravado that you have to keep up otherwise you'll get picked on.

If you can run around the corner and say hello to someone do that instead of emailing. It's always more rewarding; the connection is always more authentic. If you've got something to say and you can say it someone's face, it's so much better, healthier.
