It's interesting because what I do and what I sing is, to other people, pretty unique. I feel I'm creating my own path... and I'm working on growing as a performer.

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.

Trust is not an obsession, it's an extension of love. When we truly love someone, we give them our heart to hold in their hands. And when that love is returned, that very trust is balm to our souls.

In my experience, the content strategist is a rare breed who's often willing and able to embrace whatever role is necessary to deliver on the promise of useful, useable content.

Writing a teen character is something I wanted to try again for a long time!

Oprah is so bright, and her intelligence is so piercing that I don't think anyone who spends a few minutes with her isn't struck by that.

"Body am I, and soul" - so saith the child. And why should one not speak like children?

The poet speaks adequately only when he speaks somewhat wildly... not with intellect alone, but with intellect inebriated by nectar.

Make it a part of every day's business to read and meditate on some portion of God's Word. Private means of grace are just as needful every day for our souls as food and clothing are for our bodies.

The better a work environment is, the better it is for the employer - not just the employee.

What we have is a crisis of imagination. Albert Einstein said that you cannot solve a problem with the same mind-set that created it.

I grew up in a poverty-stricken neighborhood, but I didn't really know I was a deprived, poverty-stricken child until the media made me aware of it.
