There's something so powerful about being my own gorgeous, beautiful, individual, unique self.

Stevie Wonder's records introduced me to '70s soul when I was 12 or 13.

I have solid decent people around me, and I believe that is all it is, because you will get destroyed if you have people bringing you down.

I love the written word so much, I know it's gonna flow naturally.

We're all going to change. Otherwise, it's boring. Who wants to stay the damn same all their life?

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.

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