I love being in Malibu. It's so cool there, and the water is just, it's nice and, and I love the beach. And I found a sand dollar there.

My advice would be to follow your dream. Most of my life, I was in second place before I came in first place. I hope that inspired people to never give up.

It's good to kind of get away from the star treatment.

That's really all I want, to be able to change the world with my voice.

Acting and singing are actually very similar because they're both telling a story.

I normally wear Stuart Weitzman or Kors Michael Kors.

I like 'Sponge Bob' and 'The Last Airbender.' I like shows where people get creative to do the impossible.

Singing is my main goal, and I think philosophy will help me write songs.

Um, well, I made a new CD called 'Dream With Me' and it's out now, and I'm really excited about it.

I'm not really a fan of people who think they're better than others. There's no reason to act that way. I couldn't even stand to yell at someone if they bumped right into me.

I'd love to do a Broadway show, but I can't because of the style I sing.

Grace is more than God opening the door to salvation

Laughter is much better than anger.

I cannot forgive my friends for dying: I do not find these vanishing acts of theirs at all amusing.

My father was a farmer and my mother was a farmer, but, my childhood was very good. I am very grateful for my childhood, because it was full of gladness and good humanity.

True happiness involves the full use of one's power and talents.

I know one or two things about fanaticism and death, and I reject them.

I don't want to be hiding from people. It would be difficult to be recognized everywhere, so that I couldn't do things ordinary people do.

I make music to bring the dead to life for a couple minutes and then let it go.

Whether you are running a business, an industry, or a nation - what is needed are insight, integrity, and inspiration.

My quality of life here in Quebec City is extraordinary.
