When I was younger, studying classical music, I really had to put in the time. Three hours a day is not even nice - you have to put in six.

The most important thing is to be proud of the work that you put into something, and put the ego aside.

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.

Some people want it all But I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you baby If I ain't got you baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain't got you, Yeah

My mom is definitely my rock.
