"And I will be strong, even if it all goes wrong."

"I'm through with these people and I want new ones."

"I don't care what people think of me because I believe in myself and I know everything is going to be okay."

"If it's over, let it go. And come tomorrow, it will seem so yesterday."

"Sometimes fantasy is better than reality."

"People are going to say what they want to say and think what they want to think, and I can't change their minds."

"If you lose a moment, you might lose a lot."

"I think people assume I'm perfect. I'm not. I make mistakes. I do things I regret. I'm stubborn."

"How do you survive without cable?"

"My life is very crazy and busy, but I love it that way."

"It's so important to feel confident in what you're doing."
