I've learned that while I'd be a fool not to stay open to the advice and experiences of the smart, amazing people in my life, I also need to listen to what I have to say.

It's when we become afraid of everything and worried about everything that you are never going to reach your highest potential.

You're at your most purest, most innocent, pure state when you're doing something you've never done before. You're scared a little, you're a little vulnerable, you're kind of trying, and then you're also better, because you're trying harder than you maybe would try.

When I really need it, talking is the best way to deal with emotional pain.

As a lyricist, you love to hear other great lyrics or other great concepts.

You don't know what will happen from one minute to the next.

I am able to hang with the hardest, the baddest, the worst, and I'm able to hang with the most proper and be at ease. I'm able to hang with any skin colour, any belief. I just fit in everywhere.
