I know I should keep this a secret, but Celine Dion is something of an icon to me.

Live your life with arms wide open. Today is where your book begins. The rest is still unwritten.

Surround yourself with friends who only call you a superstar

I know this because I understand now what love really feels like. The kind that consumes you. Love holds the power to break you. It holds the power to complete you.

Who doth right deeds Is twice born, and who doeth ill deeds vile.

It don't make much difference what you study, so long as you don't like it.

Let us in the name of the Holy Trinity go on sending all the slaves that can be sold.

Making people laugh is a really fabulous thing because it means you're getting deep inside somebody, into their psyche, and their ability to look at themselves.

God's desire is that we excel.

Everybody has different stories about where I came from. Nobody really knows.
