I enjoy my fun time and everything like that but I love what I do.

Living in Maryland, I saw that the opportunities were far greater in California than back home.

I was living in Maryland and my first week was dreadful. My first week I actually got into a fight at school

I enjoy being happy every day, and hopefully you can hear my happiness in my music. Life is beautiful.

Even in relationships, I don't get my hopes up or anything, especially not right now because I know I'm young and I've got plenty of time later in the future.

I also have two dogs, a Chihuahua and a Yorkshire terrier, so if they like him, that's a good sign.

I like doing arts and crafts, so I would probably go to one of those fun little ceramic places and go paint some plates and do something fun like that

For one year I did go to Performing Arts School, and I had very weird friends.

Love yourself for who you are. You are beautiful inside and out, and nobody can take that away from you.

I signed to Def Jam and within two months, I heard that Ja Rule was looking for someone to do a song with.

When I meet somebody, I hang out with them, and it's all good, but I don't take it too seriously

There is no external solution to the problem of insecurity.

Let's be honest: women are still only really valued for two things--their looks and their role as mothers. I'm not beautiful, and I can't have kids, so what does that make me? Worthless.

But let me tell ya, spend every day living only for yourself, every day indulging in little sins that aren’t that big of a deal, and one day I may be showing you the ropes in hell. Amen.

Enjoy most: the prospect of having an impact on the public debate. Irritating liberals is a close second.

It is largely on television and radio that real probing of what politicians are up to has to happen.

A man is saved no faster than he gains knowledge

Most of my sermons are inspirational, and I believe people need that encouragement.

Here are the choices I dont want to make: between paying additional fuel costs and flying and steaming less; between paying additional fuel costs and building fewer ships and planes.

Life gets more complicated and projects get more complicated after that.

Every child I know who overcame long odds and grew into a responsible adult can point to an adult who stepped into his or her life as a FRIEND, a MENTOR, and a GUIDE.
