Music is something that always lifts my spirits and makes me happy, and when I make music I always hope it will have the same effect on whoever listens to it.

I've had my run in with trouble. Fortunately, you know, one slap on the hand is usually the last time for me... I learned my lesson.

I'm always studying my craft because I want to be the best at what I do.

People have their own opinions but sometimes with the media things get chopped up and cut around to make stories out of it.

My favorite thing about being famous... it's not really as big of a deal as everybody says it is. Being on the road is tough, doing interviews, and all the stuff. It's still pretty tough.

I want to be a real artist to consumers. I want to be the real thing for them.

I feel betrayed by own mother.
