Just knowing that through my music I actually inspire people is amazing for me and I find it very heartwarming.

I mean I've always said I have an amazing team and network of friends and people that I work with that you know inspire me and enable me to do what I do.

My sister she's amazing. She sort of inspired me to take this journey to Latin America.

Every now and then I have blissful moments of thanking God for all the amazing things that are happening. When I leave the White House after just meeting Obama or when I see my face on the cover of 'Rolling Stone' or when I meet someone who tells me that their daughter is inspired by me those are moments that are incredibly joyful.

If I can inspire people by showing that following a dream by working hard and being determined is possible it's amazing.

There's nobody else on the face of this earth that's playing a sport at a highest level... with a transplant. That alone continues to inspire me because I realize throughout the whole world the struggles that people are going through. I need to inspire them the best way I can.

On the stage you alone hold the key and on the night you have to trust that the director has inspired you enough to take the material and run with it.

My mother inspired me to treat others as I would want to be treated regardless of age race or financial status.

I'm inspired by people who keep on rolling no matter their age.

Old age adds to the respect due to virtue but it takes nothing from the contempt inspired by vice it whitens only the hair.
