"This hallway, next to my own home, has been the space of my childhood. Everything feels different while also everything feels familiar. Like it was only yesterday.""

"I want to try everything because I get to learn a lot of things along the way. It makes me motivated to do better."

"You’ll never know where you stand unless you start doing something. It’s only when you begin that you see what you need to improve on. And the process never ends, so I can only hope to keep working and getting better."

"Everything was challenging. Nothing good comes easy, so you have to give it your best, give it your all and put your heart into the work that you do."

"I don't even think, 'Today, I wake up, I want to get mad at somebody.' But, I guess, because I'm a strongly opinionated person, I really have a lot to say."

"When I answer, 'when I have time, I will answer. 'When I feel like answering because the question is good or can enlighten other people, I will answer him."

"“I am not the center of their world. I am only a very small part of this world. Too many things going on to fixate on what I did right or wrong.”"

"“No one is forcing you to believe what should or should be not, but canceling? It’s not one of the Lord’s traits.""

"“Mockery can’t diminish her God.”"

"'Our bodies and hearts are broken, so we can let another live; ourselves lost so another can be found, it is both beautiful and sad at once.'"

"'Di ko rin iniisip na (I don't think so either), 'Today, I wake up, I want to get mad at somebody.' But, I guess, because I'm a strongly opinionated person, marami talaga akong masasabi (I really have a lot to say)."

"I rarely regret because sometimes, many times, it's really just a misunderstanding of people. But this one, I regret.""

"“I think after the very first taste of negative viral backlash I experienced, I realized that people hate on you, but they can’t really stay hating on you for long because they got other things to do.”"

"Tbh (To be honest), I never liked the terms self-care and self-love because they felt so self-serving. I was also so anxious of making it all about me, of ending up selfish. But as in anything, too much of something is dangerous. Even selflessness. Mine especially distorted into reduction. I have reduced myself to the point that I believed my existence is not necessary. It was only this year that I began appreciating myself again. Only this year when I remembered I have value since God chose to make me at all!"

"“…this is actually good. To us believers it is actually a form of faith. To believe that God was not wrong in making me, in keeping me around, that there must be value for Someone as Amazing as the Creator of the Universe to wonderfully, fearfully, fashion me to be. So if you suffer from thinking today that you might not be necessary, that there is no difference in you being around or not, put on a little something on your face, look good, feel good, and remember that every time God made something, He stepped back and always saw something good. Something good is in you. Let’s try to call that into life today!”"

"Parents are supposed to raise their children and then let go. But man and wife enter marriage vowing that they will never, no matter what, ever let go. Richer or poorer, sickness or health, better or worse, with hair or no hair, you stuck it out with me even when I wasn’t the nicest person to be living with. I love you so much. Thank you for giving me a great picture of God’s unconditional love (I never want to let you go kind of love!) for us. You are not perfect but you are close to it."

"“Your obedience is somebody else's blessing.”"

"“...to give thanks regardless of the circumstance does something good to us. Because it helps us take our eyes off our present troubles and look towards life and hope.”"

"“God is so beautiful and glorious that even the worst thing we can imagine fades away in the light of His glory.”"

"“The glory of God is far weightier than death and its sting.”"

"“Helplessness puts me in my place and makes me aware that I am not error-free. Helplessness creates space for favor! Helplessness causes faith to rise in me - to believe in something big, for a breakthrough. God wants us to know everything comes from Him.”"

"“You need people who enable and not disable your faith!”"

"“Not only is Jesus' timing different, but also His methods. Sometimes, His method for others is healing, for you it might be a miracle.”"

"There’s a lot more for other kids I’m sure, but so far these are the things we see from Rocket. Autism is always present, in many ways. There’s no proven reason that’s 100% why kids get autism. It can just happen. It’s possible for first time parents to think it’s the worst thing that can happen to their baby. It’s surely can be scary and who knows what the future holds but definitely not the worst. You just need to know where to go, what you’re dealing with, finding the right therapist, the right support groups and lots of love. We’re still in the process of learning. It’s going to be a long ride."

"I know people are bummed that it won't be coming back, but it's actually such a gift to know that it is the third and final. I don't think a lot of platforms and networks give you that information all the time."

"I'm really lucky ... that I found something I love to do, and so I don't take the responsibility lightly. We're going to blow it up ... in the best possible way."

"That's why I made my character a stylist, because I think the platform of fashion can showcase the injustices. ... It's also a good excuse to be like, 'Hey, I need a lot of money for fashion"

"I know that I can reach people of all gender expressions, of all sizes and shapes, and say, 'Hey boo, you look f—king good and you're worthy of whatever you want"

"[I'm] sick and tired of the conversation, especially in and around the arts, film and TV, of bigger bodies always having to feel very grateful that someone finds them desirable, which is just plain bullshit. ... Since the beginning of time there has been thick people who have been loved on and dicked down. It's just like, excuse me, why is this such a wild concept that somebody would love their body? And honestly, it is what we are going through today and what we've been going through also since the beginning of time. It's control. It is a mental prison. If you tell people they are not worthy ... they're going to believe you, they're not going to feel good about themselves. And I'm so tired of that"

"When we talk about mental health and making people feel good, it isn't just about how you look. It's about how you feel. And it's about how you feel in all chapters of your life"

"So whether it is a piece of clothing, whether it is food, whether it is attention, whether it is sex, all of it is meant to build you up, not tear you down"
