There Is A Winner In You. You Were Created To Be Successful, To Accomplish Your Goals, To Leave Your Mark On This Generation. You Have Greatness In You. The Key Is To Get It Out.

This Is A Day That God Has Given Me. It's A Gift. I Can Never Relive This Day. And I'm Not Going To Live It Angry, In Unforgiveness, And Mad At Somebody. If I Don't Get My Way, I'm Going To Believe That God's Still In Control.

You Have To Learn To Follow Your Heart. You Can’t Let Other People Pressure You Into Being Something That You’re Not.

I See People - They Won't Be Negative Toward Other People, But Inside They're Negative Toward Themselves, And I Think That Holds Us Back.

I Believe The Scripture Says That Being Gay Is A Sin.
