It's always sad to me when certain people are excluded from being considered beautiful... because of someone else's expectation. That bothers me.

There are rules but there's really no wrong way.

The worst disease in the world is hate. And the cure for hate is love.

I'm still afraid of things, obviously - we're human. But I like that feeling of being afraid.

I do experiment with lots of different genres. In making music, I don't think of genre like, "I want to do this, because I'm going use that country music sound; I'm going use that hip-hop sound; I'm going use that acoustic [sound]." It's just making music. So now that I've traveled a lot more since I did Acoustic Soul, I'm sure that different sounds will come into place, because I have been exposed to it and I like it. But it's not so much of a conscience effort. It's mind and spirited. You know, we're humans.

Your real job in this world is to be you.
