I have a hard time memorizing stuff. I'm always in the process of writing a new song, so trying to learn a new one takes a minute.

I don't mean to be mean but that's all I can be, that's just me.

There was a while when I was feeling like, 'Damn, if I'd just been born black, I would not have to go through all this'.

I've accomplished enough with the music that I haven't had to go out there and do other things to over-saturate.

Mother, are you there? I love you. I never meant to hit you over the head with that shovel.

Insecure about my body, about my personality, sometimes even about my understanding of everything.

Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end.
