I still believe I have a lot of liberal thoughts, but I also believe when you work hard, you shouldn't be penalized and pay more because you work hard.

I know a lot of people who are struggling musicians; it's a hard life, and I've risked being that. The rewards are tremendous now that I've made it, I thank God every day. But I put it all on the line for it.

I believe that opportunity looks a lot like hard work.

We believe in the Australian promise; that if you work hard, you won't be left behind.

If you work for it, you'll deserve what comes. Hard work.
