I'm glad I started so young, because you are really able to endure so much at that age.

The ideal situation would be to bypass all of the drama and mayhem and just get the music right to the people. I'm confident that we'll eventually figure it out.

One of my favorite songs from the album is a song called 'For Better or Worse,' and it's basically about unconditional love, which is, I'd say, an ongoing theme in my personal life.

I'm kind of a quirky dresser usually. Like today, I'm actually pretty put together, but I dress kind of off sometimes, but that's just part of my personality.

Think with your heart, speak with your soul.

I think that celebrities should never underestimate their power. I mean just to draw attention, because then people get involved on a personal level.

I've learned to have a sense of humor about myself. Lord knows everyone else does!

Being on stage is what I enjoy.

I wouldn't say I was bullied per se, but I did get a lot of unwanted attention because I was musical and stood out. In school you don't want to stand out; you want to blend in.

I've managed to keep my career going in a way that suits me. I'll perform, and then I'll go home to my actual life, and I've never been so visible.

I used to want to be the quickest, loudest, and sharpest. I think as time has gone on, I've gotten more relaxed.

Those heart-hammering nightmares that start to lose coherence even as you're waking up from them, but that still manage to leave their moldering fingerprints all across your day.

Pink, You are gentle and sweet just like this rose. When your rose pink lips smiled at me that first time I remembered how to smile.~Riley

The need for some venture of faith still remains one must stake one's life upon something.

My job is to be a blank canvas & embody the characters that I'm playing.

Politics is cyclical.

One swallow never makes a summer.

I am confident that you brothers in parliament will champion the will of the people over that of the occupier.

The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.

There is an immediate payoff to intelligent design: it destroys the atheistic legacy of Darwinian evolution. Intelligent design makes it impossible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist.
