People criticize you for trying new things. I think, 'I'm new! I'm 22!' I don't know exactly what my sound is or what I want my album to sound like, so I'm not releasing it yet. While I'm...

I think I really have 'Atypical' to thank for really teaching me about who I am.

I'd started acting as a child. But I wanted to see if it was something my true personality was interested in. I stepped away from offers when I took five years off to go to college. I've only really...

I just umpire. That's what I've done. That's all I can do. I'm one of the fortunate ones on God's earth. I found what God meant for me to do. People ask if I like working home plate best. I just want...

No one knows his true character until he has run out of gas, purchased something on the installment plan, and raised an adolescent.

From without no wonderful effect is wrought within ourselves unless some interior responding wonder meets it.
