Demi Lovato Quotations

No matter what you're going through, there's a light at the end of the tunnel and it may seem hard to get to it but you can do it and just keep working towards it and you'll find the positive side of things.

Never be ashamed of what you feel. You have the right to feel any emotion that you want, and to do what makes you happy. That's my life motto.

I try to keep it real. I don't have time to worry about what I'm projecting to the world. I'm just busy being myself.

I don't let anyone's insecurities, emotions, or opinions bother me. I know that if I am happy, that's all that matters to me.

I get mad. I get sad. I have all those emotions. But I just like to keep them to myself. I don't think my fans need to be bothered with if I'm mad or sad about something. I should just be concerned that they are keeping up with my music or I'm making them happy with my show.

Where I am today... I still have my ups and downs, but I take it one day at a time and I just hope that I can be the best that I can possibly be, not only for myself, but also young people that are out there today that need someone to look up to.

I think that women who know who they are are beautiful.

Sometimes I think, 'Why couldn't I have been normal?

I love having a boyfriend but need to be secure on my own first.

Sometimes you don't know who you can and cannot trust. I still learn that over and over again.

I knew from the second I stepped onstage. I was like, yep, this is what I want to do.

I was just so sick. I thought that orange juice was going to make me fat.

After so long being thin, it was terrifying being heavier. But I am a naturally curvy Hispanic girl. I don't deprive myself.

Recovery is something that you have to work on every single day and it's something that it doesn't get a day off.

Music is what I love to do; it's in my veins.

I've come to realize your career is all about the choices you make. Every single one matters.

One of the reasons I was so unhappy for years was because I never embraced my emotions and I was trying to stay in control.

Creativity is what helps me escape a lot of my inner demons.

It's a big responsibility dating me. Because I come with a little bit of baggage, you know?

I want my music to do the explaining.

I believe in aliens. I think it would be way too selfish of us as mankind to believe we are the only lifeforms in the universe.

Rocker dudes don't have a lot of swagger.

If I'm able to use my voice to do good in the world then I definitely want to do that.

I think scars are like battle wounds - beautiful, in a way. They show what you've been through and how strong you are for coming out of it.

I learned that you go through things, you deal with them and that's what empowers you and ultimately makes you a happy person.

After hundreds of auditions and nothing, you're sitting home and wondering, 'What am I doing?'

I know that I have a voice and can use it for good or bad. It's a gift from God.

I was compulsively overeating when I was eight years old.

Now on Friday nights, if I want to go hang out with friends, I go hang out with friends. If I want to stay in and be in the hot tub and have people over to watch movies, I do that.

I feel like I'm held more accountable to stay healthy now because now I'm a role model to young girls to not have eating issues and to not say, 'Hey, it's OK to starve yourself' or 'It's OK to throw up after your meals' - that's not OK.

My sisters and my mom, those people help me get through every single day.

I pray every night before I go to sleep and every morning when I wake up.

I don't have many deal breakers. I've done so much in my life, it doesn't feel right to judge other people.

I love life on the road. I'm in a different city every night and it never gets old.

In treatment, all of the negative things I did were stripped away and I had to start processing my feelings.

Being a celebrity can be dangerous. Nobody says 'no.'

I never found out until I went into treatment that I was bipolar.

I don't think there's going to be a day when I don't think about food or my body, but I'm living with it, and I wish I could tell young girls to find their safe place and stay with it.

Everyone has the bully or the mean girl or the ex-boyfriend who tried to bring them down.

I'm honest about the journey I've been on, so I definitely don't take dating lightly anymore.

I never thought that I'd be a role model. Everyone kind of just made me a role model, and I hated that.

I still had a normal childhood with my friends from school.

I think I've definitely had my rock bottom and I think that was probably right before I went into treatment where I said, 'I definitely need help.'

If it takes me 10 years to be the musician I want to be, great.

On TV, you have wardrobe fittings, you have four cameras on you at all times, and you're worried about your angles and your lighting and your shots.

Some of my fans have said that because I've been able to speak about my issues, that they're not afraid to speak about theirs, which is an amazing feeling.

My stepdad provided me with an amazing childhood. I played outside like a normal kid, I rode my bike, I walked to school, but the happiest times were when I was acting.

I don't see myself doing television, but I do see myself directing.

I want to get to the point where one day I don't have to have anything but a rug and a microphone stand on stage and still be able to sell out places like Madison Square Garden, like Bruce Springsteen does.

As a kid I'd play with homemade recipes, like putting pineapple on my face to exfoliate my skin and doing facial steams with lavender or peppermint oils. I just loved doing stuff like that. It's what motivated me to launch my skin care line.

Growing up in America, I never really appreciated my culture. I knew what being Hispanic was, but I thought that since I didn't look Hispanic, I was white.

If you're hurting, don't be afraid to seek the help you need! Speak to someone - it may just change your life.

I'm very passionate about charity... Performing is my passion. But it's not gonna change the world. That's why I give back.

I allowed social media to define what I thought of my body. And now I realize that no matter how thin you are, someone will call you fat. No matter how beautiful you are, someone will call you ugly. But you can't spend your time worrying about that. You're just not going to please the world.

I tried to conform to what everyone thinks is beautiful. But my genetics gave me a curvy figure, and I've come to understand that in the Latina culture, that is beautiful.

I think that's what goes wrong in a lot of people's careers, so many people are afraid to say, "This person has a problem" or "This person maybe shouldn't do this" because they're afraid of losing their jobs.

The more active I am, the better I feel and the longer I can stay onstage without losing my breath.

If I could turn back time, I would tell myself that I'm beautiful every day, because we all are! And we need to start believing it!

I feel most confident when I'm taking care of my body and my skin.

We're all human so of course there are days when I'm feeling insecure. When that happens, I take time to reflect on how far I've come and how far I will continue to go - it helps me feel empowered and self-assured.

When I look back, it saddens me to think that I was so hard on myself - when I was younger, I thought I had to look like everyone else, but I learned that beauty comes from how you feel about yourself. Once I started taking care of my mind, body, and soul, I realized that I didn't need to conform to what's "normal" and started to love myself.

Aside from eating healthy and taking care of my body, I've always been passionate about skincare. It's an essential part of my daily regimen, which is why I decided to create my own skincare line, DEVONNE by Demi. When my skin is clean, I feel my best!

I'm also very passionate about charity because it helps people who don't have as loud of a voice as I do.

Whenever you're going through stuff, it definitely reflects in the way you wear your makeup and hair. Wearing less makeup is more comfortable for me.

My tattoos say "Stay strong." "Stay" on one wrist and "strong" on the other. I'm able to look at them and be thankful for being alive.

I think every time you get your heart broken, there's a little piece of it that chips away, and I don't think you ever get that piece back. But I think you're able to bandage it with time and with new people and other things that make you happy.

I can feel glamorous without makeup, especially on my lips. They're naturally reddish, so I often let them go.

I met so many young girls and even older women who had literally been through so much that I couldn't even imagine. I was maybe a little more closed-minded, and I learned from them never to judge anyone.

I'm not saying I'm perfect, or fixed, but I am learning to love and accept myself. My outlook is more positive and I am happy.

My tattoos are reminders to hang in there when things get rough.

Don't let anything or anyone define you. You are what you are because of what you make of tough situations in your life.

Don't judge me. You know my name, but not my story.

If the world runs out of chocolate today... It was not my fault. :l

To be someone's inspiration is the biggest goal in my life.

I want girls to know that its okay when they grow up and their bodychanges.

And you said we wouldn't make it But look how far we've come For so long my heart was breaking But now we're standing strong The things you say They me fall harder each day You're a trainwreck But I wouldn't love you if you changed

The mirror can lie. It doesn’t show you what’s inside.

Tall, thin, curvy, short – whatever you are, you are beautiful.

The little things that you do From across the room I see you sendin' me clues They're in the way You make me move

Don't torment yourself with jealousy. It's a silly illusion that someone's life is better than yours when the truth is that each one of us is on a different path.

Bipolar depression really got my life off track, but today I'm proud to say I am living proof that someone can live, love, and be well with bipolar disorder when they get the education, support and treatment they need.

We do the best we can in life, we take things one day at a time and sometimes we all just need a simple reminder of that.

Be grateful for your journey because it is yours alone.

People don't realize how badly verbal harassment and cyber bullying affects you. I wish they had hit me in the face and gotten it over with, because what they said to me, sticks to me to this day. It affected me into the person that I am today.

Every single day is a battle to stay strong.

Somewhere we went wrong Our love is like a song But you won't sing along Have you forgotten About us

Sometimes I'm not always doing amazing but it's okay... because everyone struggles and it's okay to be flawed because that's what makes me... Me.

There were times I felt so anxious, almost like I was crawling out of my skin - that if I didn't do something physical to match the way I felt inside, I would explode. I cut myself to take my mind off that. I just didn't care what happened. I had no fear.

But you're so hypnotizing You've got me laughing while I sing You've got me smiling in my sleep And I can see this unravelling Your love is where I'm falling But please don't catch me

She was scared Unprepared Lost in the dark Falling apart I can't survive Without you by my side We're gonna be alright This is what happens when Two worlds collide.

All of my past challenges have helped me become who I am today.

Tired of being unhappy? Fix it.

Expectations are just disappointments waiting to happen.

I wanna get back To the old days When the phone would ring And I knew it was you I wanna talk back And get yelled at Fight for nothing Like we used to Oh kiss me Like you mean it Like you miss me Cuz I know you do I wanna get back, get back I wanna get back, get back I wanna get back, get back Get Back

Insecurity kills all that is beautiful.

Now I know who you are U got nothin' on me, I see I should've known it from the start You can't tell me lies Don't even try cuz This is goodbye Goodbye

Maybe you'll call me someday Hear the operator say the numbers no good And that She had a world of chances for you She had a world of chances for you She had a world of chances Chances you were burning through

We can't stop the world, but there's so much more that we could do You can't stop this girl from falling more in love with you You said nobody has to know Give us time to grow, and take it slow but I'd stop the world if it finally let us be alone Let us be alone oooo ohhh oh

So many things were going great in my life and then all of the sudden my personal life just went down at crazy speeds. I had a negative breakdown and it changed my life forever, but I'm glad that it did, because if I had never gone into the treatment ... I don't know if, one, I'd even be sitting here today. Two, if I'd be alive today.

Just because you're on the Disney Channel and you always have a smile on your face, they think you're perfect, and it's obvious that nobody's life really is.
