I don't do too much looking back and regretting things - not that I haven't made tons of mistakes. But I do think people are in our lives so we can learn lessons and evolve as better human beings.

You can't get it all right all the time, but you can try your best. If you've done that, all that's left is to accept your shortcomings and have the courage to try to overcome them.

Being a role model is about being true to myself.

When you sit back and you just do what you love, things happen

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small, and the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all.
