For once, I'm one of those people that says "this changed my life". Because it has. Thank you.

[@impradachase]

Man he is a great genuine guy. Seriously.

[@lbeschrich]

How is this not viral? It’s the best video I’ve ever seen. This is how I feel. Why is everyone so afraid to do something? Say something? Love something? Stop being afraid! Let’s just love and love with gusto! Thanks so much Scott!!!

[@luisgeyne3741]

Ever since I found out about Scott as a person instead of just as an artist I've changed the way I look at a lot of aspects of my life, I can't help but appreciate everything he puts out on the world because it never fails to have a positive ripple effect.

I can’t imagine what this person went through. He looks like he’s about to cry when he’s sharing the details about when he was a kid.
