I want to be remembered as a happy, humble person, and as someone who motivated others to never give up.

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

Self-pity is a death that has no resurrection a sinkhole from which no rescuing hand can drag you because you have chosen to sink.

When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it.

I feel honored and privileged to have represented the USA program over the past 16 years. USA Hockey will always be a part of me and I will cherish the experiences and memories with this team.

I wanted to play in the NBA, I wanted to play sports, I wanted to do all this. And I have. I think I am becoming a man.

I learned that you should feel when writing, not like Lord Byron on a mountain top, but like child stringing beads in kindergarten, - happy, absorbed and quietly putting one bead on after another.

Are my words ever actually audible, or do they just echo in my head while people stare at me, waiting?

A lot of the futuristic space stuff seemed to me to be a very cool form of science-fiction, so that was my first real baptism in the genre.

Everybody I know in England was raised on Mose Allison.

I'm a Lakers fan. Kevin Garnett is my favorite player of all time because of his passion for the game.

A great many quite good plays could be performed with rhythmic howls in the place of dialogue and lose almost nothing by the change.
