There's a reason why bullying takes such a strong form online. People don't have to push back as much as they would in real life.

In terms of fashion, I love adding a fun scarf to whatever I'm wearing - it's a great way to dress up a plain outfit!

People need to realize bullying has just as much of an impact online because words are so cutting and difficult to deal with.

Growing up, theres a lot of pressure to be normal. But normal isnt as fun as being yourself.

I just remind myself that the gifts I have, I've been given for a reason and that every day brings new opportunities to use them.

Cool is overrated. Be a geek for what you Love

I love Beyonce. She's so fierce. I also love Lily Allen, and she was an influence on my music.

I really do like Bruno Mars. I think he's very good. And I love Maroon 5.

I'm really passionate about music.

Songwriting is actually a really great outlet. I kind of recommend it. You get to sum up whatever is going on in your life in a song, then perform it really passionately.

I definitely get stage fright.

The devil himself can become beauty, so we are told, to corrupt mankind."(Marco)

When troubles come into my life which burden my heart and my mind, I know that God will guide me by making his presence shine.

Am I going to complain about being typecast as smart? I don't think so.

I think it's a very firm part of human nature that if you surround yourself with like-minded people, you'll end up thinking more extreme versions of what you thought before.

Anybody can say they want to be the greatest ever. I take pride in it. If you're around me long enough and watch me work, that's what I'm striving for. I won't stop until I am.

I have great respect for the news and great respect for freedom of the press and all of that.

At any rate, mutually assured destruction was never our policy.

Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?

Love lives on, and hath a power to bless when they who loved are hidden in the grave.

If Christianity is dull and boring, if it is a burden and not a blessing, then most likely we are involved in a project, not a Person - a system not a Savior, rules rather than a relationship.
