Maybe I don't want to be defined by what I do. Maybe I'd like to be defined by what I am.

I was not looking for my dreams to interpret my life, but rather for my life to interpret my dreams

I don’t want life to imitate art. I want life to be art.

Never measure your life by possessions. Measure it by the hearts you've touched, the smiles you created & the love you shared.

It’s not the events that shape my life that determine how I feel and act, but, rather, it’s the way I interpret and evaluate my life experiences.

I do not wish to expiate, but to live. My life is not an apology, but a life.

I believe that I am not simply on earth to exist. I want to leave a mark – in the lives of children, in my community, and also in the larger world

There's a difference between imposing a meaning on someone's life, and saying it arises from their life, and having an interpretation that you own as your own that arises from your own life. And it should be full of questions, not just statements.

do you know what it means for your existence to be defined by someone else’s intentions?

It's not about that for me. I'm not trying to go out there and convert people. I just want to be an example. I want to live my life for God, and let other people take from that whatever they want.

I don't want to live in a world where everything that I say, everything I do, everyone I talk to, every expression of creativity or love or friendship is recorded.

I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I just lived the length of it. I want to live the width of it as well.

I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.
