“Why am I living? I have a purpose, so my head is up. Yes, I cry, yes, I break down, but after I cry, I just look in the mirror and say, ‘keep moving.”

“I can’t just sit down; I just pushed past all the pain, and put the emotions into the project and today we see the big thing happening and I am excited about that.”

“Working with young people has really touched my life; so, anytime I hear that they have something new to work on, I quickly jump on it and support them.”

“You can’t force talent or do something simply because someone else is doing it.”

“I want to encourage you to work hard, believe in yourself and never rely on others for validation.”
