Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary.
It’s OK to be different.
It erases everything I hate about myself. Nothing can hurt me. I feel completely invincible. I feel like everyone else on that stage is invincible and we’re capable of anything. There’s no stopping us.
I’m not drunk, just a little stoned.
Cigarettes and coffee: an alcoholic’s best friend!
I didn’t want to say anything. I liked Star Wars when I was ten.

Learning to be extremely disciplined has been the key for me. I work really hard during work hours and family really hard during family hours. Family does always come first though, in any situation.
Hey, girls, you’re beautiful. Don’t look at those stupid magazines with sticklike models. Eat healthy and exercise.
I would like to continue to make art by being able to do what I love and have that make it possible for me to support my family. I’d like to make people happy, show people a good time, and hopefully inspire some people.
