• "Use your voice."

• "It doesn't really matter to me how I make a difference, I just wanna make sure that I do."

• "I'm never really comfortable with people cheering for me."

• "I mean, come on, hello! The way I see it, I'm not that big of a prize".

• "I'm not different. I'm not different at all. The wrapping is different but the gift is still the same."

• "If my career detour from special education to singing has done one thing, it has afforded me the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others."

• "I think celebrities have an obligation to the public to not just sing or act."

• "Not everybody gets a mic this big. I feel I should use it in as positive a way as I can."

• "I went to school for special education. I always assumed when I had the opportunity I would love to try and help kids with disabilities."

• Well, obviously, I didn`t expect the career. I always hoped that I`d be able to do something, whether it be as a teacher back home in North Carolina or working with some type of non-profit in some way. As the career took form, I kind of feel like it`s every celebrity`s responsibility really. I kind of like to look at this as an opportunity, I guess, to teach in a bigger classroom."
