I would kiss you had I the courage.

It would be sad if we lost our instinct and our courage to love and protect.

I think what I would say to my younger self and probably to younger just starting-out writers is that a lot of times you're just afraid to put yourself out there and it's uncomfortable because it's working up the courage to do something to push yourself to do those things.

Paul persuaded me to join the band. I would never have had the courage otherwise. It was fun at the beginning. We were playing just for fun with Paul's group.

Well number one I like dancing. Number two I knew it would be challenging because I had never done this type of dance before. I always wanted to and I happened to have the courage to go out there and give it my best shot.

Had we lived I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood endurance and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale.

No I am not a homosexual. If I were a homosexual I would hope I would have the courage to say so. What's cruel is that you are forcing me to say I am not a homosexual. This means you are putting homosexuals down. I don't want to do that.

What I've always said is that I'm opposed to institutional racism and I would've had I've been alive at the time I think had the courage to march with Martin Luther King to overturn institutional racism and I see no place in our society for institutional racism.

Conscience is the root of all true courage if a man would be brave let him obey his conscience.

Never undertake anything for which you wouldn't have the courage to ask the blessings of heaven.

At the same time I would add that the American people have a lot of courage.

Perfect courage is to do without witnesses what one would be capable of doing with the world looking on.

Never be discouraged. If I were sunk in the lowest pits of Nova Scotia with the Rocky Mountains piled on me I would hang on exercise faith and keep up good courage and I would come out on top.

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?

I thought that 'Twilight' would be a kind of girl movie but it was cool.

When I was in school I read a lot of comic books and pretend I was in them and kids would tease me and call me names. But now I do the same things and people say that I'm artistic and cool and I'm doing the exact same thing I did in high school.

My sister and I said Dad are you doing to do anything about that? And he mentioned treatments other people sent him that he'd been working on. So we thought it would be kind of cool to give these guys a real script.

In the old days a TV sync was perceived as not so cool or whittling away at your indie cred. Now it's seen as much more of an opportunity than a sellout as a way to find fans who wouldn't have ordinarily come across their genre of music.

When I was in high school my friends and I would drive out into the country to abandoned houses and structures... haha... to ghost hunt. We would scare each other so bad! We would sometimes camp out by the abandoned buildings just to scare ourselves! Such good times. The adrenaline of real fear is so cool!

Again like I said we're not trying to censor anyone. If you think drugs are cool fine. Make that movie. We are not going to stop you or try to stop you but we would encourage other people to be a bit more responsible about their portrayal of drug usage.

I was a dancer and it's not really cool for a boy to dance so it was inspiring to see a movie like 'Footloose' where a guy is dancing masculine and had a proper reason behind it. It made me feel cool and when these kids would make fun of me I'd be like 'Oh didn't you see 'Footloose ' man?'

I have this idealistic and maybe naive thought that almost any song can be anything. If you record one song today it would maybe be exciting and cool. But I could record the same song next week and it would be something completely different.

I wouldn't compare myself to any past Idol contestant because I don't feel like I am like any of them. Maybe stories are cool but my story is different from most people's story. I don't like to compare myself to other people I like to just be me.

You always have in the back of your mind that would be cool if you get recognized. But you can't concentrate on any of those things. You've got to just keep playing and doing your music and the rest is just a bonus.
