I love to play with make-up. I adapt my beauty look to my outfit, so as soon as I know what I'm wearing, I know if I want to go for a red lip or a smoky eye. I usually won't put those two together, but it all depends on what outfit I'm going for.

Like any other kid, I was trying so hard to fit in that school made no sense to me. I wasn't attending class; I was trying to hang out in the caf with the cool kids. I was always trying to be cool.

Regardless of what race, what color, what sex, what nationality, what sexual orientation - regardless of who you are, equality should always rule! Whatever is right for you is right. Period.

The worst thing I've done while sad is sit in defeat. That's very unhealthy. The best thing to do is dust yourself off and try again.

I am the underdog, and I want to prove that one can follow one's dreams despite all the flaws and setbacks.

I don't do much cooking because it's impossible when you travel so much. You go grocery shopping, buy everything, and then get a call to fly out for two weeks. By the time you're back, all the food is rotten.

I learned to love who I am despite what anyone would say about or to me. This gave me the courage to really stand up to anyone or any obstacle in my life.

Whether in chains or in laurels, liberty knows nothing but victories.

To be as good as our fathers we must be better, imitation is not discipleship.

What is defeat? Nothing but education. Nothing but the first step to something better.

Responsibility educates.

To hear some men talk of the government, you would suppose that Congress was the law of gravitation, and kept the planets in their places.

We live under a government of men and morning newspapers.

Seldom ever was any knowledge given to keep, but to impart; the grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.

Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty; power is ever stealing from the many to the few.

Physical bravery is an animal instinct; moral bravery is much higher and truer courage.

You can always get the truth from an American statesman after he has turned seventy, or given up all hope of the Presidency.

Every video I've made has an inspirational message behind it. Since day one, I thought, 'Okay, I want my audience to be, like, Disney members.' So if that's the case, I have to keep everything rated G.

As a young girl, I loved having stories read to me. There is something magical about narration and voiceovers. Recording a voiceover is an art form in itself.

Makeup is not a mask that covers up your beauty; it's a weapon that helps you express who you are from the inside.

Just like hair frames our face, brows frame our eyes. I see so much potential in harmonized beauty whenever I see a woman who's not filling in her brows, and I just want to go in with my brow pencil and just be like, 'Filling in eyebrows, OK, done - look in the mirror and be inspired.' That's one of my pet peeves, but beauty is subjective.

That's the beauty about beauty; it's not like a tattoo. You can just wash it right off, and your skin is your canvas, so you can do something new the next day.

Makeup is no different than clothes and accessories - it's embellishments for your face. And it also gives you creative freedom. You get to have that moment in front the mirror every morning and give yourself self-love. You're making yourself up beautiful, which is essentially self-love.

Don't trust everyone, especially if they say, 'Trust me.'

Art was a way for me to express myself and for me to also escape because it was tough growing up as a child. We didn't have a lot of money. I was always creating. I was writing stories. I was doing comic books. I made my own universe.

I was inspired by many teachers when I started my channel, Bob Ross being one of them. His voice was so soothing, almost like hypnosis. He was that great of a teacher, even the casual viewer could learn how to paint from watching his show. Growing up, I just remember him being so mesmerizing on screen.

You know when you're a child and your imagination is limitless and you really believe in magic? I thought I had super powers.

My production style is all about imagination. I want my audience to use their imagination when they watch my videos. My goal is for my voice to be that little hope of encouragement in your head when you walk out your door.

It's a moment that I'm after, a fleeting moment, but not a frozen moment.

One's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.

I can't work completely out of my imagination. I must put my foot in a bit of truth; and then I can fly free.

I surrendered to a world of my imagination, reenacting all those wonderful tales my father would read aloud to me. I became a very active reader, especially history and Shakespeare.

It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.

I believe that curiosity, wonder and passion are defining qualities of imaginative minds and great teachers; that restlessness and discontent are vital things; and that intense experience and suffering instruct us in ways that less intense emotions can never do.

I have had manic-depressive illness, also known as bipolar disorder, since I was 18 years old. It is an illness that ensures that those who have it will experience a frightening, chaotic and emotional ride. It is not a gentle or easy disease.

There is no common standard for education about diagnosis. Distinguishing between bipolar depression and major depressive disorder, for example, can be difficult, and mistakes are common. Misdiagnosis can be lethal. Medications that work well for some forms of depression induce agitation in others.

Knowledge is marvelous, but wisdom is even better.

Psychologists, for reasons of clinical necessity or vagaries of temperament, have chosen to dissect and catalog the morbid emotions - depression, anger, anxiety - and to leave largely unexamined the more vital, positive ones.

God will forgive me. It's his job.

Music played at weddings always reminds me of the music played for soldiers before they go into battle.

The Wedding March always reminds me of the music played when soldiers go into battle.

Experience is a good school. But the fees are high.

If the Romans had been obliged to learn Latin, they would never have found time to conquer the world.

Every man, either to his terror or consolation, has some sense of religion.

Communism possesses a language which every people can understand - its elements are hunger, envy, and death.

Sleep is good, death is better; but of course, the best thing would to have never been born at all.

You cannot feed the hungry on statistics.

I will not say that women have no character; rather, they have a new one every day.

When words leave off, music begins.

Human misery is too great for men to do without faith.
