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.

I've been able to find a lot of what I've not had before: freedom, bravery, fearlessness. It's empowering to find those things.

A Minor is one of my all-time favorite keys to play in. It's a very moody key, and also 'A' is the first letter of my name. It just represents the songs through my eyes.

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.

And I love kick boxing. It's a lot of fun. It gives you a lot of confidence when you can kick somebody in the head.

Living will always be a struggle looking for someone to love you.

You've got to love what's yours.
