Never give up. Never stop being creative in finding ways to get exposure. Also, prepared anytime and all the time. You never know who you will run into.

Living in Maryland, I saw that the opportunities were far greater in California than back home.

I was living in Maryland and my first week was dreadful. My first week I actually got into a fight at school

I enjoy being happy every day, and hopefully you can hear my happiness in my music. Life is beautiful.

Even in relationships, I don't get my hopes up or anything, especially not right now because I know I'm young and I've got plenty of time later in the future.

I also have two dogs, a Chihuahua and a Yorkshire terrier, so if they like him, that's a good sign.

Ambition is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.

Vengeance fixes your attention on life's ugliest moments. Is this where you want to look? Remember: God dispenses perfect justice.

I don't want to play high schoolers anymore. I guess I don't feel that way. I just want to play characters who are really good.

Our children must follow in our footsteps; after all, we are older and know about the world.

I want to spend my time exploring the characters we've already got here. I want to give them more time to shine before the team gets to have 400 members.
