At school I had a really hard time being a guitar player. It’s like being a male ballerina in a way. It’s not the norm.

Just never give up. Try to believe in yourself and don't let negativity wear you down.

It's a guy thing, playing the guitar. Being a female and trying to go to the same auditions as the guys, it's pretty hard.

Sometimes I write from personal experience, but so much depends on what mood I'm in. If I'm in a good mood, I'll write happier songs.

It's such a great feeling being able to play shows for a great cause to help people in need. If we all try to help one another the world will be a much better place.

This PRS is perfect for anyone who wants an awesome quality, versatile, rockin' guitar at an affordable price. I love it; try it out!

I wanted to have all the songs to be the strongest they could be and all the choruses to be catchy. One of those records you could put in your car and just drive and not have to change it.

You have to think outside the box. The world is changing every day, the music industry is so different but I think the more creative you are the better.

I think it is so great when artists use their voice to help other people and it is really great to be a part of the benefit.

I listen to everything. My I-Pod's really diverse-from guitar instrumentals to Rascal Flatts to Usher.

A sunset will color your dreams.And a sunrise will color your smile.It's all God asks.

Trying to fit in will not change a society. To change it, you have to be brave, fearless, and strong enough to withstand societal criticism so that you may break the boundary and let light come in.

If you do not completely accept yourself, you can not love yourself fully. It would be hard to love anything unconditionally.

Has no one ever told you that it is the height of impropriety to kiss any gentleman, unless you have the intention of accompanying him immediately to the altar?

The central truth that serves as the platform for Christian marriage — and for all Christian relationships — is that in Christ we are at every moment eternally loved and genuinely significant.

You turned your head to the side. Faced me. Your eyes never left mine, I read them with ease. You said nothing to them, yet everything to me. I nodded.But only when no one was watching.

It is the fool who is haunted by fears, dread of dangers, oppression of mind, not the wise man.

I'm from Chicago, so the Chicago working-class poets still mean a great deal to me.

A Company should be viewed as an unfolding movie, not as a still photograph
