If you've got a talent, protect it.
You never know what motivates you.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The big thing that everyone forgets, you're famous and on TV and everything, but I think there's something very rewarding to be able to write a song, record it, and have it turn out as you heard it in your head, or even better.
