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.
children thinking one-day
I kind of had my life planned out for me. I'd be married at some point, have, you know, 1.5 children, and be a principal possibly one day. But I think that that was kind of my problem. I allowed myself to plan out my life and didn't let provident direction guide my life.
art children together
I never want to produce anything that a family could not enjoy together. I never want to create art that would embarrass my own children later.
children acceptance people
In my ideal world, no child would suffer. Charitable instincts would prevail. There would be global acceptance of all different types of people.
children survival causes
UNICEF is working for the survival of children worldwide. What can we do to get more Americans committed to the cause?
children educational reality
Everyone deserves the best start in life, which is what UNICEF is working to provide the world's most vulnerable children. Education is essential to a child's development. I hope that as an Ambassador I can encourage people to join UNICEF's mission to make education a reality for children throughout the world.
children lying way
I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to raise a child to do that.
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.
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?
