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

The same people neglecting and hating are the ones going through issues in their own lives, and they're scared to face that.

It's frustrating when you feel like you have a message to get out and people just judge you regardless.

I grew up in the dance school my mother owned, and I see everything in body shapes, everything visual.

Color has always evoked emotion for me: visually, internally, emotionally.

I like to make people dream and think and imagine and learn and study. Nowadays, music is so literal - it's telling you, "This is how it is," and my music's the opposite. I come from an era where lyrics were full of imagery and metaphor, and that's all I know.

The only person who can confine you is yourself.
