- “if you want to do anything just get really, really good at it sooner you can”
- “there is reality, there is the way things are, and then there is humans who want something different than the way things are”
- “it’s not about getting rid of those doubts and fears and wanting things to be different. It’s about being okay with the fact that you want things to be different.

I think the key to success is instead of trying to get rid of those so-called negative feelings, it’s acknowledging the negative feelings and moving on anyway”
- “it’s all about working through those difficult times and just having a deeper meaning behind your life that can get you through”
