I started making music professionally when I was 14.

I wear whatever makes me comfortable on stage, so that I feel confident. Some days it's a plaid skirt with a button-up and other days it's jeans with a hockey jersey and platforms.

I like writing different types of music. I don't like being stuck into one thing.

I hate being forced to do things. I hate people telling me what to do, so I'll do the complete opposite. It's a bit self-destructive sometimes.

Dreams do come true. They definitely do come true. It just takes a while, I guess. Sometimes it doesn't, but for me it did, anyway.

I feel like I didn't know who I was when I was 15. I don't feel like you're who you are for life, not even when you're 20.

I wanted to try something different. Most people my age go off to college; I thought I'd try out New York.

I didn't grow up in a regular upbringing. I ended up at my grandmother's house past a certain age, so I took care of things myself. I moved out of home when I was 16.

I hate when people call me a socialite because you have to have money to be a socialite, which I don't have.

How could you know what it feels like to fight the hounds of hell?

I'm pretty sarcastic, and sometimes that doesn't come across on the Internet. It seems I'm being rude or stupid.

The universe stood still and the universe continued on its path, travelling through endless time.

It's not enough that I should succeed - others should fail.

You must sacrifice every thought, every ideology for the good of the nation and for the serenity of our fatherhood.

Invest in yourself now and reap the dividends day after day after month after year.

I've always been a bit of a self-doubter, I think a lot of actors are. I still am.

A true leader is not someone who feels fully informed but someone who continuously receives insight and guidance.

The television commercial is not at all about the character of products to be consumed. It is about the character of the consumers of products. (128)

I'm not a preacher, and I'm certainly not a good example, but I have my own feelings about God. I'm kind of a nature guy. My cathedral is forests, or the prairies, or the beach.

Be someone's best friend and be there when he or she needs you.

We must have life building, man-making, character-making assimilation of ideas.
