I've learned that you only become as creative as you possibly can by staying independent.

I have been doing choreography my whole life, and it's so important to make that marriage between music and the body.

We get discouraged sometimes when people look at surface only and neglect the message.

I had to appreciate other things about music, like the writing and the cadence and dealing with producers. I became a student. I wanted to learn the actual idea of what this industry was before I could creatively speak a lot of the things that I wanted to speak.

I've always been an outsider kid. But I had always wanted to be in a group - growing up, I loved bands like the Cranberries and K's Choice.

I've always loved literature, and the best books I read were always trilogies.

I've only covered a few songs because I feel that if you're not going to go beyond the original artist in some way, then don't disrespect what they created.
