“You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.”

“Wake up. This is your life, for God sakes. It's time to face up to it. You can't get anywhere, can't get over anything, if you don't let yourself feel anything in the first place. It's time.”

“Either you let your life slip away by not doing the things you want to do, or you get up and do them.”

“Sometimes, there aren't any good choices. Sometimes, making the right one is hard... It's funny, but when you think about it, we're all broken. That's what life does. It knocks you down and breaks you and you either get back up again, or you don't. You either do things on your terms, or you don't. You let the bad things win, or you don't.""You either let it break you, or you don't.”

“If you close your emotions off so the bad stuff can't get in. You make it so the good stuff can't get in either.”

“It's so easy to get caught up in what people expect of you. Sometimes, you can just lose yourself.”
