That's the beautiful part about acting - you get to play somebody other than yourself. So, I'm open to people who can't sing, people who can, people that sing a little bit, or people that sing a lot.

There's a lot of people out there who go through hard times, and they feel alone. They feel like nobody is there. But I'm in the same boat.

I'm very proud of myself because I have come so close to just giving up and I haven't done that.

Nothing can stop me from loving my brother.

Mom would kill me if I showed my navel.

Just staying true to yourself and staying true to your passion. Following your gut.

When you get a chance to step back, you notice all these great things you've done and all these great people that you've worked with.

I needed to explore my talent and versatility and see if I had another side to me, another sound.

My daughter is in love with Adele. She listens to her every day. To see someone with that much passion and soul move a 9-year-old is amazing and it's magical.

When you fall in love, you wanna share it with people but you know there are some things that you need to keep to yourself, 'cause privacy makes things last longer, I feel.

It's easy to just give everything up, but it takes a lot of strength and a lot of willpower to just make yourself stay on it and get up and do something different. And I had to do that.

If we can just be brave enough to be each others mirror, we may finally recognize the face of conscious that we fear.

I have a nice house. And when somebody says it's a palace, I always feel like we're digging a little or something.

Everyone is an athlete. The only difference is that some of us are in training, and some are not.

Anytime you’re gonna grow, you’re gonna lose something. You’re losing what you’re hanging onto to keep safe. You’re losing habits that you’re comfortable with, you’re losing familiarity.

Who can exhaust a man? Who knows a man's resources?

I want to experiment; I want to keep growing. I didn't want to just sit back and rest on my haunches and do the things I knew I could do for a while.
