As artists, it’s our job to delve into the uncomfortable, the difficult and the challenging.
You've got one life, live it. Follow your dreams, quit your job, drop out of school, tell your boyfriend that he's lousy and walk out the door. This is your time. This is your life. You know what? Dream as big as you want to, its the cheapest thing you'll ever do.

Approval isn’t necessary. It’s nice when you get it, but it’s not going to stop us from being who we are. I mean, if I’d have listened to approval, I’d never have made it one day onstage. But to be criticized, if there’s validity, as upset as you are, you can learn from it.

Just jump in with both feet and live your life, no matter what.

Remember; the only way to fight negativity is with positivity. Stay focused on the dreams.
