This world is going in all sorts of directions, but I think all you can do is get people to think about things in a different way, because sometimes people aren't even thinking.

I think having wild, huge hair, is me being my own version of a lioness.

I remember just looking at this lioness, she was staring at me, and we just had this weird connection.

I've always loved vintage and I never like to have something someone else has.

The women in my family are just strong women who do their own thing, so I knew I needed to have individuals like that.

You need to have honest things in the world. Even if people don't understand it, if it's coming from you, that's already important.

My main goal was to not tell my mom anything or anyone anything. Even within our family, we like to do it ourselves, we like to be our own boss, and we don't like asking for help.

I love to feel that I'm not above anyone.

You're just always growing. I feel like it's been very fast growth, but super exciting and I know I'll look back and feel like 'Yes, things were stressful, but it was also such an exciting time.'

As I got older, I started to do it more and more, and I wanted to learn all of the different types. I grew up doing modern, so I wanted to learn ballet, tap, jazz, and African - just everything.

Sometimes words come easily and sometimes they don't. Most songs take me twenty minutes to write.

The burden of sin leads you to the need of a savior

The value of the goal lies in the goal itself; and therefore the goal cannot be attained unless it is pursued for its own sake.

Most novels I come across have all the excitement of a long trip on a bus with a sensitive glee club. Yammer and chat.

I do not care to listen; obloquy injures my self-esteem and I am skeptical of praise.

Right is right, even if no one else does it.

I thought people cared about music in a deep way, so I was writing to that spirit in people and in myself. It was me, thinking I knew what was up. Youth, who else can change the world?

I have a funny sense of humor. If I was a comedian and I was up on stage, people would think that's funny, because I'm a funny comedian. I'm an entertainer.

Menuhin was playing Bach on a fantastic spiritual level when he was a teenager.

Man sheds grief as his skin sheds rain.

I really enjoy being home because that's where family is. No matter where you're from, it's hard to beat home.
