I drove right into the music with the same sort of attitude as I went into the football stuff with. Just found a routine and hard work, and it helped me progress a lot faster.

I'm conflicted about the lyric tattoo thing. I feel like that's a lifetime decision, and I always feel like, 'I hope you don't regret this a couple years from now when you get tired of that song.'

In a small town, it's either sports or a band with your buddies. I was always athletic. But in college, I was exposed to all this new music, and I was drawn to hip-hop and R&B.

I've always craved winning. It's just easier in sports because there's a scoreboard.

Any chance to get out and play live for some people and get out of the studio is nice.

I didn't know what to expect, having not been an artist before. From the outside, you only see romantic snapshots of what seems like a great lifestyle, and it is, but it's also grueling.

Be patient and open-minded in your interactions with others

Human beings are born of blood, bound by gravity, eventually to perish... fallible by design... destined.

Only you can find your sacred path.

War is too serious a matter to leave to soldiers.

I want to give myself the freedom not to have to be projecting my whole life ahead.

Life is about growth. People are not perfect when they're 21 years old.

Positive attitudes qualify you for positive experiences.

First comes the sweat. Then comes the beauty if you're very lucky and have said your prayers.

I live and breathe every element in life.

Make no mistake about those who call themselves anti Zionist are anti Semitic.
