Voice Quotes

So, in that regard, I don't feel like I owe anything. But the people who've always been supportive of me and have always seen me for my greatest potential-those are the people who I feel like I owe something to. I feel like I am their voice. I owe it them to represent them in a way that they can be proud of.

We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.
