The jazz I love is sweet and pure with raw elements, which is exactly what the good hip-hop is doing now.

I do suffer from depression, I suppose. Which isn't that unusual. You know, a lot of people do.

We only said goodbye with words I died a hundred time, you go back to her and I go back to black.

I always try to write a song to work things out with myself and I want to do it with a little punchline at the end, because I never want to remember anything bad in my life.

I'm my own worst critic, and if I don't pull off what I think I wanted to do in my head, then I won't be a happy girl.

I've always written poetry but I didn't realise it was a therapy for me until I was maybe 15. That's when my singing started to come together as well because I was listening to so much jazz. What I love I will always embrace.

I saw a picture of myself when I came out of the hospital. I didn't recognize myself.
