When you ask people what affects their wellbeing most, they think of health and wealth.

When I was in kindergarten, I entered a competition and read 52 books in a week.

If a school makes an effort to provide kids the right foods and help them to be more active, this benefits the student and the family's health. If you embark on a program to improve your health with a church or community group, you are more likely to stick with it over time.

What works for one person's needs is almost always very different from the next.

That's part of the requirement for me to be an artist is that you're trying to share your personal existence with others and trying to illuminate modern life, trying to understand life.

Every single 'no' that you get, you know that that was an experience that you learned from. Keep going.

The truth is, I have made very few public appearances, and when I have, my parents have been very careful to allow me to have my own experience.

My advice for parents is to support your children, make sure they are having fun. Support them and be there for them. Give them encouragement and make it a life lesson that along the way they are learning to make good decisions and do the right thing.
