I've learned that friendship does not equate business, business does not equate friendship.

Ain't nothing coming easily in this life. Sometimes you gotta work, you gotta grow and it gotta hurt.

Beauty is an understanding of what you have, and it's forgiving yourself of what you don't have, and appreciating all of it.

Just because you have a nightmare doesn't mean you stop dreaming.

Find new treasures in yourself. Love doesn't die. Love is unyielding. It's going to come back. The more you love and appreciate yourself, the more prepared you are when the real thing shows up.

If you can't help me grow, there's no point with you being in my life.

Saturday Night Live is a show that I think I could have a lot of fun on, just being different characters and maybe singing, too.

I think every individual has his or her own power, and it's a matter of working, taking time and defining what that power is.

I just think it's silly to be stingy with compliments. If you see someone and they strike you as beautiful in any way, why not let them know?

To be a queen of a household is a powerful thing.

Just bc u loved and lost doesn't mean stop loving. If u have a nightmare, does it mean u stop dreaming?

The most beautiful is to see the joy in your eyes.

There is love in everything, and when we really live and view life with an open heart (and live in our truth), the light illuminates the way.

A sense of duty is useful in work but offensive in personal relations. People wish to be liked not be endured with patient resignation.

Why is it when we talk to God we're said to be praying but when God talks to us we're schizophrenic?

Change is not a destination, just as hope is not a strategy.

I praise loudly. I blame softly.

In short stories it is better to say not enough than to say too much, because, because--I don't know why.

YouTube is an amazing platform for young musicians - although its harder to get noticed now that everyone is on it.

Don't go on American Idol, I think you'll spend the rest of your life living it down and I think it's getting kinda scary, isn't it?

You've got to realize. In the western world, regardless of what color you are, what title the music is, it's all played by the same notes.
