Everything I do is about setting up for the next. I think that my confidence and belief in myself as well as the music and trusting my judgment of my songs really grew the most.

I can't be passionate about something that I don't understand. In my music, I feel that's why people can connect so well with it because it's all honest.

I'm connecting and that's really what any artist wants at the end of the day which is to connect with their fans and supporters.

I never put myself in a box. I like to have various different types of songs and different genres and situational songs. No matter is going on, I have something for that time or era.

Love and heartbreak is something that's always been a part of me.

I feel like pain is the quickest way to relate to someone because everybody has been through that and everybody has had a heartbreak.

I feel that when you have a passion and you are real, you last throughout the ages and you're able to reincarnate your artistry numerous times.
