access american-musician education kids million
There are 120 million kids in the world right now who don't go to school. Who have no education - who have no access to education.
thinking obligation
I think celebrities have an obligation to the public to not just sing or act.
new-year thinking should-have
I don’t really do New Year’s resolutions because I don’t think you should have to wait until December to start working on how to change yourself. I think if you’ve got a problem, you need to fix it now.
children inspiration opportunity
Working with children with autism has provided me with an opportunity to see the world in a different way. I see them strive to overcome obstacles and persevere, and learn to persevere myself. They are my inspiration.
christian jesus fighting
I think there is a predisposition among Christians that Hollywood is anti-Jesus or anti-Christianity. I was warned I'd have to fight to maintain the freedom to express my beliefs. It's an unfair stereotype, and so far that's been the farthest from the truth. While everyone I work with may not share my beliefs, I have been surrounded by nothing but support.
performing
I really love live performing!
sound
I am never going to sound like Johnny Mathis.
friendship dream trying
When the answer to all my dreams is as close as a touch away, why am I here holding back what I'm trying to say?
thinking needs might
I sometimes think I might be autistic because I like to know - I need to know - my beginnings and my ends. I don't have to be in control of it, but I need to know what's going on.
fun just-for-fun
I auditioned just for fun.
team people looks
It's a whole team of people working 24 hours around the clock to make me look like this.
mother teacher brother
Well, financially it's a little bit better. But it's better than than when I was a teacher. But I kind of - it's allowed me to buy a house. And I've been able to help my mother with some stuff and my brother. So, that's nice.
stars exposure dies
There are stars out there who would die to have this much exposure.
growing-up pain support
Pain happens to everyone. To grow up, to fulfill your potential, to develop into what God wants you to be-this process takes support. No one succeeds alone.
