This is such a pivotal moment in my life! I'm transitioning as a woman, and I'm finally able to express myself as I am.

You can't appreciate the good times without the bad ones.

I was thinkin if I cheated on my fears, broke up with my doubts, got engaged to my faith. I can marry my dreams.

If everything was perfect you would never learn and you would never grow.

We ain't got nothing without love. That's all we'll have when the world is through Cause, baby, we ain't got nothing without love.

Happiness comes from you. No one else can make you happy. You make you happy.

It's easy to hear the voices of others and often very difficult to hear your own. Every person you meet is going to want something different from you. The question is: what do you want for yourself?

A woman is most beautiful when she smiles.

When you really don't like a guy, they're all over you, and as soon as you act like you like them, they're no longer interested.

God has a plan and God is in control of everything

Imperfections make you more beautiful.

You will die, and I, and all we can create—why not a city? But if there is one thing that deserves to be immortal, it is knowledge.

To find the peace you never had you will need to do the one fearful thing that you have never done.

You are strong enough to sing as you wish, not as your pain has forced to. You aren't your hurt. You're other than that. You are not the broken things you've been.

Rain, rain falling downDown, down on the goundAll the birds go in the treesThey don't like the rain, you see.

If I'm the biggest artist in the world, cool, but I want to just be me.

The longer we live the more weight we carry in our hearts.

Our world loses out when the leadership doesn't reflect the led - when a minority makes decisions for the majority.

If a budget is designed to show our values, it's clear where the majority stands: against opportunity, against education, and against America's hard-working, tax-paying middle class.

I said I didn't want to run for president. I didn't ask you to believe me.

We need to learn to treat our own brain better - understanding how it works will help us do that.
