We started a movement... to build character, citizenship and confidence in young people. ”

I found at an early age the times when I learned the most about myself was when I got thrown out there on a stage in front of a microphone when you didn't really want to be out there, where you're kind of afraid. ”

When you start suppressing feelings at an early age, it hurts you down the road. Full expression of anger and pain is very important. ”

When you have a tough loss, go through it and agonize. I had one loss that I still want to change, but at the same time I realize it is an important part of who I am. ”

A good balance of winning and losing is important. If you just win all the time, you won't get anything out of it; having some tough losses can be really important. ”

Teenagers too often have to deal with loss and death. You had to cope with the untimely death of your brother; how can young people deal with such tragedies? ”

I can pretty much call anyone, whether at the White House, in a company or in the media. I have access, because of the silliness of the entertainment world and how people react to it. It gave me an enormous opportunity to do anything I really want to. ”
