Heres some quick one-liners and more that Stan has said, please feel free to use them
for graphics, signatures, a laugh or for just plain inspiration!! Please add to it...
"You learn from every mistake, you learn from every battle and from every little circumstance that happens,"
"This is my passion. I really want to do this."
“Māoris sing at wedding and funerals, and all of our big occasions – it’s part of who we are, and what we do as a community. My whole family is musical – we’re kinda like a family-band; a very different kind of Brady Bunch! Our culture is very musical, so we’ve brought up with music as being an important part of our lives.
“Music has always been some sort of an escape for me; somewhere I could kind of refuge myself. I always turned to music when I needed to – it was my security blanket. If I was feeling down, I’d go to my room, and just try and sing myself to sleep.”
“I want people to not just hear the songs I sing, but I want them to feel the heart behind it. It’s so much more than a pretty lyric, and a pretty melody, I just want them to feel the soul behind my voice, and get a sense of who I am.”
“I really want to represent Polynesian people, Aboriginal people, and other ethic groups of people who have to deal the same kind of issues in their communities, but at the very same time I also want to represent all the young Australians who may also be finding things a little more difficult than others. It’s not about where you’re from, it’s about who you are – my goal is to show people that through the struggle there is definitely a brighter future on the other side. I’m one of those broken people who’ve gained everything through my experience, and I want to show everyone that it’s possible if you stay true to who you are. I really believe that talent can take you so far, but it’s your character that can take you all the way.”
"Once Were Warriors - that's exactly how our family was,"
"I don't even need to go into detail. Watch the movie. That's all the detail right there.
"That was my life. But we came through that."
"I have heart, so I sing from a deep place,"
"I go, in my mind, to a place of similar experience. Everything I do, I put my heart into it."
"Ataahua signifies a lot of things in my life," he said. "It's who I am and where I've been. It was my daughter's name.
"It is a reminder that, regardless of how this Idol situation goes, I am proud."
"I turned to the quick thrills of life. But they made things worse.
"There was no buzz. I felt the realities the next day."
"I just want to thank God, man. Hey, I want to thank my family for coming and supporting me. My family they came from New Zealand,"
"Music is a refuge, only God can fill the void"
"Tell me I'm Hawt!!"
