Nobody understood what it was like to be black and Jewish... being different from everyone else just made me a lot stronger.

I can't believe we really made it, I'm partly surprised.

Never pay attention to the rumors and what they assume

I always view my music like a city at night, like Atlanta. I view my music in lights. So Far Gone would be my experiences in Toronto at night.

Buzz so big I could probably sell a blank disc.

I can't hear the critics talking over the applause.

I can show you new things, have you feeling spiritual.
