People aren't born strong. People grow stronger little by little, encountering difficult situations, learning not to run from them.

Be stupid, be dumb, be funny, if that's who you are. Don't try to be someone that society wants you to be, that's stupid. So be yourself.

Confidence is not 'they will like me'. Confidence instead is 'I'll be fine if they don't'.

I'm not perfect, but I believe my faith in Jesus Christ will really take me far in the world!

If It's your passion and you want to do it for the rest of your life, why would comments stop you from doing that?

No matter what society is trying to drill in your head about how you should look, how you should act, and what you need to say, I think it's all crap. All of it. Be yourself and do you.

Be different; be unique; be yourself.

If you can't find what's unique, people aren't going to listen.

Most of all I like to sing my heart out to lyrics that really speak to people.

Don't let the idiots that like to bring you down, succeed in discouraging you. I let it get to me a while ago, and let me tell you, it feels SO good to come up under it!

The course of our lives can be altered when we receive the gift of knowledge.

Nothing shows you the straight line from here to death like a list.

Bad moments don't last forever, things do get better.

A friend comes over with a Ouija board.It spells out: Bourbon. Where’s the band?Just because you’re dead doesn’t mean you can’t have fun.

You risk just as much in being credulous as in being suspicious.

Black culture is cool, but black issues sure aren't, huh?

I love short trips to New York; to me it is the finest three-day town on earth.

I don't even like firing people. I don't think I've ever said, 'You're fired' to anybody.

One of the things I know from the study of history is that history surprises you. History is not written. It's not inevitable.The victory of evil is not certain.

I wish I could find an event that meant as much as simple seeing.
