Well, I'll tell you, I don't know how aware teenagers are of me. I think it really depends on the teenager and how well-versed in music they are and what kind of music they like.

My guitar is not a thing. It is an extension of myself. It is who I am.

You got nothing to lose. You don't lose when you lose fake friends.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Make your own victories. Make your own mistakes.

Girls have got balls. They're just a little higher up, that's all.

Other people will call me a rebel, but I just feel like I'm living my life and doing what I want to do. Sometimes people call that rebellion, especially when you're a woman.

I think I was born strong-willed. That's not the kind of thing you can learn. The advantage is, you stick to what you believe in and rarely get pushed out of what you want to do.

You want to have butterflies in your stomach, because if you don't, if you walk out onstage complacent, that's not a good thing.

I figured out it was a social thing, what women were allowed to do. At a very young age, I decided I was not going to follow women's rules.

Success isn't one straight line - it's a ladder, and there's always another rung above you to reach out for. Like anything else, there are ups and downs.

I don't give a damn about my reputation. You're living in the past, it's a new generation.

A child becomes an adult when he realizes that he has a right not only to be right but also to be wrong.

You have been in every way all that anyone could be... If anybody could have saved me it would have been you.

The one thing I learned the most about acting is it takes a tremendous amount of courage to go there and stand still. It takes courage and guts to step out of your mind frame and depict something.

I showed people that it's not about guessing what people can do. It's about saying, 'Here, show me what you can do.'

Football is a game of tomorrows.

When the spirit of child's play enters into the creative process, it's a wonderful force and something to be nurtured.

For every habit we have, for every experience we go through over and over, for every pattern we repeat, there is a NEED WITHIN US for it.

When you're playing against a stacked deck, compete even harder.

We cannot use our thoughts and feelings as a standard: only God’s Word is the test.

Most of us make unconscious choices in the words that we use; we sleep-walk through the maze of possibilities available to us.
