I think there's an energy about just remaining excited. Like, you can't be excited when you're not doing something new.

Love me like you'll never see me again.

My music comes from many, many, many places. My emotions, my feelings, my thoughts, and conversations I have with people I know who influence me.

I promised myself that I'd never actually admit to listening to 'New Kids on the Block.'

When I was a kid I'd practise Chopin on piano - and I love Chopin! He's my dawg! Then I'd go out on the stoop and blast the radio. I'm from New York, the concrete jungle. Hip-hop influenced me from day one.

Moments are so fleeting; I want to hold on to the good ones.

I've always been very private, maybe because I discovered my mother, who is a wonderful lady, is very emotional.
