I would much rather be a bad Luise Rainer than a second someone else.

Lift others and yourself as you rise above this mess of comparison. Thank God for those who embraced their true selves and gave us gifts that only they could give: from Steve Jobs to Michael Jackson to Ray Charles to Mark Twain. There are so many more, and the list goes on.

I want people to understand that from the minute Lady Gaga arrived, she created a new set of rules: being different is good; embrace it.

The biggest thing is, when I was coming up, the thing that made you wonderful was your uniqueness. People celebrated that.

I want to encourage people to be themselves and express themselves however they want.

Write about what makes you different.

Being different is awesome! All of those who are different are more interesting than those who are clamoring for acceptance because they follow the path.

If you're different somehow and have made yourself unique, people will find you and pay you more.

What makes you different or weird, that's your strength.

Being different is a talent. You illuminate what makes you special in the sea of sameness around you.

Instead of trying to blend in and be like everyone else, be proud of and celebrate your unique differences and qualities. A fruit salad is delicious precisely because each fruit maintains its own flavor.

The reality is, I like imperfection. You take away from the world when you're not yourself. Whatever is unique and special about you was designed by God.

Who knows what you would have contributed to the world had you just been yourself, if you had just celebrated who you are and just walked boldly?

The best thing anyone can do is be himself. Everyone was made different by God, and that's the way it should be. And if I were a writer or an announcer starting out, I don't think I'd imitate anybody. I'd try to be whatever I am.

It's ok to show all your colors.

I take a little bit from everybody and add that to my life to make me, me. I wanna be nobody else but Future. When you look at me, I want you to say, 'Future.' The way I talk, the way I dress, there's nobody in the world but me.

People don't want just vanilla. They want 31 flavors. I couldn't do what Rihanna does. I couldn't do what Gaga does. They can't do what I do.

That's that Dungeon Family ethos: being able to reinvent yourself, stand out and stand alone. Having your own character and having your own image, no matter what they say about you. I want to show my versatility and how diverse I am, how I approach the track, my rhythm, my melodies. It's something different.

I know I'm known for singing some of those high notes, but that's really not what giving someone goosebumps is all about. It's about really trying to find what makes you unique.
