I just got tired of waiting for things to happen through other people when so many other people are taking chances on following their dreams.

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

I believe that the true definition of wealth is loving what you have rather than what you don’t have.

I believe that the sign of maturity is accepting deferred gratification.

I think honest communication, no matter where it comes from, is positive for a relationship.

I don't want to be a silly temptress. I cannot see any sense in getting dressed up and doing nothing but tempting men in pictures.

My parents are artists, so I grew up with my mom having bonfires, seven guitars, and talented musicians and artists around like Jack Hirschman.

I write my plays to create an excuse for full-tilt acting and performing.

If you teach a boy, you educate an individual; but if you teach a girl, you educate a community.

Wars are fought for the benefit of oligarchs, triumphs bought with the blood of peons.

Things usually make sense in time, and even bad decisions have their own kind of correctness.

I'm on a search for the truth.
