If you're going through hell, keep going.
You never know what motivates you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
After a storm comes a calm.
Well done is better than well said.
Only the educated are free.
Never complain and never explain.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Part of the reason that I moved to Los Angeles is that even though my mom introduced me to all kinds of music, I really wanted to work on having my own identify, on being who I am and doing what I do, and seeing how people responded.
