"You can’t force creativity, you’ll hate yourself for doing so. It all comes in waves, like life, but the key is being true to yourself. As long as you accomplish that, then the creativity will flow."

"Real quick before we go I just wanna make an announcement, alright? Just so we don’t have things twisted in this joint, alright? So we’re all on the same level. Speaking of all on the same level. Look, here’s the deal, everybody in this room- if you guys didn’t know it already- we’re all human beings, okay? Yeah, can we all agree on that we’re all human beings? Alright, with that being said, none of these kids on this stage including myself are any better than any single one of you out there, okay? Alright? I don’t give a fuck-excuse my language young lady- I don’t give a crap if you’re Justin Bieber or The Jonas Brothers or if you’re Nick Lachey or any of these other false idols that we all praise, okay? I don’t care who you are- we all- if you’re a man, most of us stand up to pee, if you’re a woman most of us sit down to pee. But one things for gosh darn sure, we all put our pants on the same exact way, okay? I’m not sayin’, I’m just sayin’."

"I’ve found clarity in my life through music, and that gives me hope. Hope that people can change. Hope that people can grow up. Hope that with all the differences in our lives, people can come together and notice something beautiful and real. Hope that everyday can be an amazing day."

Garrett Nickelsen
