You lose attitude when you feel too comfortable, so I prefer to wear clothes that have a certain edge to them.

God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.

When I was 12, I played the Artful Dodger in Cameron McKintosh's production of 'Oliver!' when it came to Toronto. Just getting the role shocked my whole family, and I don't think I realized until then just how much I loved getting up in front of people and performing.

I believe in friendship over money and that's how I lost a lot.

My parents were from New England. It's very funny, but when I grew up, you always had to say, 'Yes, ma'am' and 'Yes, sir.'

I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.

I don't try to hit home runs. I just try to meet the ball and get base hits.

I believe in living today. Not in yesterday, nor in tomorrow.

To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.

Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The music you love when you're a teenager is always going to be the most important to you, and I find that it's all over the score of 'Hamilton.'

Laverne Cox, Isis King, Janet Mock, Our Lady J, Ryan Murphy, Steven Canals, the people I've met growing up, and even me - all have inspired me to see that it is possible to get far anywhere and that the capacity for positive and motivating influence is truly unlimited.

Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.
