Broadway really inspired me to want to act.

The people that I associate with, the circle that I keep, is real simple, and sometimes we think or we're trained to believe that you always have to have more, more, more to make ourselves feel happy or beautiful, but it's the other way around for me. Simplicity is sexy.

I was captain of the pom-pom team, which was still dance, but we were athletes. We trained on the track and did workouts every single day after school.

I definitely learned that when I want something done, I'm very tunnel-visioned out. I don't come out of the house. I beat myself up. I don't eat. I don't sleep until it's done, especially if I have a deadline in mind.

I'm very patient with life.

Doing the classics is always nice because it's a part of the archive, and that's what people love to hear, and I don't mind that.

It's a dangerous world out there when it comes to relationships. And I believe we attract what we are. So I want to work on being my best self so I can attract the same.

Hope is everything. Once you've lost that, you don't really have much.

I grew up with brothers in real life.

I think actors, athletes, and anyone who's a public speaker is very amazing or fascinating to me.

I'm very reserved when I get off stage.

I'm O.K. having a comfortable life. I don't have to live in a mansion and drive Aston Martins or Ferraris.

Being a woman is power. Just because we live in a male-dominated world doesn't mean that you're incapable or less than a man.

It took time for me to step away and become an independent thinker so that wherever I am in the world, I understand who I am and that nothing's impossible.

When I go to the spa, I'm a girly girl. I'm pampering myself. But on a regular basis, I'm a very tough tomboy - I have to remind myself that I'm still a woman!

When your back is against the wall, and you feel like you're losing faith and hope because so many things are coming at you at once, hold on.

I love Broadway. I love live performing. It's really spiritual when you can get to interact with people, and they actually affect how your show goes.

I have a lot of scripts that come my way, and some of them take a bit longer to read than others. There are a lot of things that I have to pass on because I'm just not into it, and sometimes the story is slightly forced.

I'm taking my time with the acting and learning as I go.

I watch documentaries and travel the world and see all sorts of life.

When it comes to the '90s, there's nothing I want to repeat.

Having my own label has been nothing short of amazing!

As teenagers, we go through social, emotional and physical changes... and sometimes, to feel comfortable, we end up doing things that are not true to who we are just to fit in and feel loved.

I'm the oldest in my family, and I grew up with brothers, so we would be on the front lawn every day playing football, whether it's tackle or tag.

I've been able to become an entrepreneur and an independent artist.

High expectations are really intimidating.

I'm really into space. When I was four years old, I used to pray to the stars and look at the moon.

People will always have an opinion. Even if you're over here saving the world, there is a group of people that will love you and a group of people that will always hate you no matter what you do.

Music dictates culture, and culture dictates music; they go hand in hand.

I'm always performing at Gay Pride events.

I'm always performing. I'm always hustling.

I realized that I really couldn't worry about what people think of me.

I didn't really get sidetracked into being a singer. It was just something I started to do for fun in school, like singing the national anthem.

I've always wanted to be a live singer and have dance be the complement.

I started dancing when I was about four, and my mother put me into dancing school, and I did every type of dance there is.

You have to know what you're doing to help people and have an important stance in life. You can only do that by staying focused, and I can't lose focus for a second.

After the whistle, during the whistle. Guys try to sneak stuff in. I just have to be uncompliant with stuff like that. Guys feel they can get away with stuff. I have to just try to not get back at him but make sure I finish through him during the whistle and not do anything that can jeopardize the team or that series of downs.

I'm going to stay respectful. The team comes first. I'm not going to do anything to jeopardize them or myself, so I'll just make sure I speak lightly and carry a big stick.

As soon as I step on the field, totally different person. As soon as I step off, I go back to who I've always been.

If you go in there with a mindset that you're gonna turn things around and make that contagious, and people start to believe in it, you can turn into a winning program wherever you go.

It's nice to have a record, but it's even better to have a win. But it's team before self every time.

Some athletes take what we have for granted. They kind of feel, 'I'm here, and I earned this, so people who are not on this level should just give me what I want and move out the way.'

You play because you love it, not because you can make money from it.

You want to get the sack, but you want to get the forced fumble and the fumble recovery. And if you get the touchdown, that's the cherry on top. But you're looking for those three always.

When I'm doing sports, I don't feel anything at all. I enjoy the moment. It's a safe haven. But once you try to let someone inside your soul, you become vulnerable. You have to be comfortable in your own skin. I don't open myself up like that to a lot of people. It takes courage.

I've just been competitive all my life. That draws from a competitive family. We're all athletes, and we're all trying to win no matter what it is, whether it's Scrabble or basketball.

I'm just gonna make plays and bring a good atmosphere to your organization.

I like to speak to my family in person. I get a bad rap because I don't use my phone enough to talk to them, but I do love talking in person, and I don't mind FaceTime, but actually, like, calling and texting, not too big on that.

I don't want anybody to be like me. By the end of my career, I don't want to hear talk of another Myles Garrett.

I didn't know how this would play out when I was a kid. I knew I wanted to play ball, be a paleontologist, and write poetry. I thought, 'Heck, where will I find the time? Well, football comes first, and I'll just find some time for poetry, and paleontology can come at the end.' I made this plan at 14, and dang, it's all coming together.
