Do ordinary things with extraordinary love.

Be yourself, be pleasant, play hard and have no regrets.

Work hard, have fun, make history.

Forgive but don't forget, girl keep your head up. And when he tells you you ain't nothing, don't believe him. And if he can't learn to love you, you should leave him.

Be an individual, work hard, study, get your mind straight, and trust nobody.

All kids draw and write poetry and everything, and some of us last until we're about eighteen, but most drop off at about twelve when some guy comes up and says, "You're no good." That's all we get told all our lives. "You haven't got the ability. You're a cobbler." It happened to all of us, but if somebody had told me all my life, "Yeah, you're a great artist," I would have been a more secure person.
