Enjoy your own life without comparing it with that of others.

I don’t mind that I’m fat. You still get the same money.

You can’t please everyone. And you can’t be afraid of making mistakes.

I wouldn’t compare myself to any past Idol contestant, because I don’t feel like I am like any of them. Maybe stories are cool but my story is different from most people’s story. I don’t like to compare myself to other people, I like to just be me.

And now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good.

If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise.

I thank God I’m myself and for the life I’m given to live and for friends and lovers and beloveds, and I thank God for knowing that all those people have already paid for me.

You can’t think about things you want to change. Just be yourself.

I wish my butt did not go sideways, but I guess I have to face that.

Most people have a harder time letting themselves love than finding someone to love them.
