I didn't grow up in one place, so I never had a certain mentality. I have some aspects of growing up in Texas, but I also have a lot of East Coast family. I would have loved to grow up on the East Coast.

I want people to know that on the other side of the world - and even in your own country or on your own street - there are people who need something that you can give them.

The easiest way to not believe your own hype is to not know what people are saying about you.

I'm very, very low-key in general.

When you're in an industry where you're forced to grow up so quickly, part of you never grows up, and that's a good thing.

I believe that people start to get into trouble when they start to believe their own hype.

It's crazy to see people having tattooed my lyrics on their body, and quite frankly writing is just an outlet for my voice and getting it out there.
