I'm able to express myself better now. I have come to accept the real me. I have come to love the real me. I now celebrate the real me.

I'm in love with my work

Being a famous singer or an international singer - that's my dream, too, but my main goal is to be a real student and be able to graduate and be a lawyer and have my own business.

Celine Dion is one of my heroes. The first song I learned was "My Heart Will Go On." And we sang "Because You Loved Me" for my mom which was a huge deal for me.

I sang my song called "In This Song." David Foster wrote the song for me. I thought that I should sing a ballad song.

When I'm alone in my apartment, I open my Garage Band and just, you know, record these weird imitations of celebrities - Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Michael Jackson; everybody!

I'm really proud to be Filipino. Filipinos are really supportive, and I want to thank all of them. I love them!

I am more into things like CSI, but then Glee started and I was like, "Oh this is different."

I want to be an entertainment lawyer so I'll be in the business still.

I wanted to be a doctor, but my mom was like "It's really hard and it's going to take 10 years, so I was like "OK, I'll just be a lawyer."

I dont want to stay a singer forever. I want to fulfill my dream career as a lawyer!

Life was a short window and there was no sense in doing the wrong thing over and over even if it was so difficult to stop.

You are going to die in front of dozens of witnesses, and none of them will do a thing to help you or avenge you. Because they know exactly what you know: The world is ending.

If you are afraid to fail, you will never succeed.

You feel alive to the degree that you feel you can help others.

You know," I told him on our wedding night, "I'm just as much me when I'm with you, as I am without you." And because Hardy understood what I meant, he pulled me into his arms, against his heart.

I think clever people think that poor people are stupid.

You can only learn when you teach.

If there be gods we cannot help them, but we can assist our fellow men. We cannot love the inconceivable, but we can love wife and child and friend.

I literally integrated the small town of Libertyville, Illinois. I was the first person of color to reside within its borders.

We all hit bumps. But we're not defined by the bumps, we're defined by how we respond to those bumps.
