I wasn't quite used to writing a diary - I didn't understand why people did it - but I wrote down notes and they went into a poem.

William Blake is my favorite poet of all time, and he said that he wasn't quite familiar with the sounds of music. If so, he would have been a musician.

Obviously you live life for yourself and have your choice to believe what you want to believe in, but I know that the Bible can be used to appreciate life.

We have the real self and the false self, there's nothing wrong with them, and everyone has both of them.

That's how I always try to start my thoughts. I write them down first, eventually it turns into a poem, and if I feel like composing something to it, then I do that.

Confidence came from people. I think I'm very confident in me, as a human being.

When I started singing about my life and what I was going through, I felt more confident. It was my own life, I was being myself, I was telling people what was happening.
