I wanted to model when I was younger.

I used to be homophobic, but as I got older, I realized that wasn't the way to do things. I don't discriminate against anybody for their sexual preference, for their skin color... that's immature.

Why can't I be friends with somebody who's gay? Why not? You can miss out on a lot by being so small-minded and stereotypical about people. It's stupid.

All of the young people - the artsy people, people who get overlooked because they're weird or they don't have hype around them - need to get some shine.

I don't wear diamond necklaces. I'm not against it but I never could afford it, so now I just wear gold. I wear bracelets, rings, anklets.

God is letting me shine, because I've got a good heart.

I don't want people to get the impression that I just got money and now I'm cocky, because I'm not. I'm just a little overly confident.
