When you write or sing a song that means something to you, you are saying, 'You know what? This is who I am!'

Life's a climb. But the view is great.

I probably have an earlier curfew than anyone. My mom wants to keep me really safe and my dad's not overly protective, but he's a dad no matter what.

When Life Puts You in Tough Situations, Don't Say 'Why Me', Say 'Try Me'

Anyone that hates on you is always below you, because they're just jealous of what you have.

If you believe in yourself anything is possible.

Always look forward and try to push pass the negativity. I think everyone's beautiful and they deserve to be happy no matter what.

The greatest opportunities in life come with fear and risk.

You can't blame me for who I am.

Remember that only God can judge us; forget the haters, because Somebody loves you.

It is important to ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing and what purpose it serves in the big picture.

Intense feelings of any kind keep people with you. Some you may want, others you won't. To forget people, and you never really forget, feel indifference.

God honors you when you take a stand for what is right.

It is through us Christians that the world must know the love of the Savior

How were we so lucky? Two people lost in a world only to find solace and companionship in someone just as fractured as they are. I think destiny has played a hand in our union.

Flattery is from the teeth out. Sincere appreciation is from the heart out.

Our minds are as much given to laziness as our bodies.

In other words, more violent tornadoes would, if anything, be a sign of 'global cooling', not 'global warming'.

World of words lost on the living / I take my place with the walking dead / Robbed of my voice I'm always giving / Thousands of words to this nameless dread.

Most of the reason we don’t do things is because we’re afraid to fail. I just made a decision one day that I was not not going to do things in my life because of fear.

Joy and woe are woven fine.
