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.

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

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.

I have rare moments of competence.

It is ironic that many Filipinos learn to love the Philippines while abroad, not at home.

The faster you can signal for rescue, the faster you get out of that situation.

The defence of human liberty against the aggressions of despotic power have been always the most efficient in States where domestic slavery was to prevail.

Madness, as I understood it from books, meant a person who was open to the high white whine of everything.

What we have here, fellow citizens, is a crassly egocentric, raving twit.

When we are honoured for a thing, we become attached to that thing.

If you start to find that kind of luxury as a normal thing, you don't belong in the real world.

What's my guilty pleasure? The thing is, I never feel guilty about pleasures.

There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction.
