I think you can really gauge my state of mind by listening to my albums.

I enjoy real people, down-to-earth people who are true to themselves and honest to your face - good or bad.

I'm no stranger to criticism. You're never going to be good enough, or just the right thing in everybody's eyes.

You've got to make a decision: Are you going to go down with the situation, or are you going to focus and succeed? My dream...kept me going.

People that fel alone or outcast that hurt, kids that feel bullied or lost, remember that you have a voice and you should use that voice to survive and persevere.

My elementary school days were miserable. After Star Search, the jealousy got really bad that our neighbors slashed our tires.

I'm experimental by nature... always exploring my creativity.
