If he ever left me, I wouldn't even be sad; no, 'cause there's a blessing in every lesson, and I'm glad that I knew him at all.

Either you're a hater or a lover.

When I perform, I'm just very much just being myself.

Beautiful jewelry, a beautiful room - that's what museums are - a beautiful painting, a beautiful face, it makes you feel good to look at, and that's a beautiful thing.

Things that I'm afraid to do are always about being afraid of being exposed. Every time, that's what it's always about.

I was born in love with music. My mother is a singer, many of my aunts and uncles on my mother's side are musical, my grandparents sang and played blues piano. It's literally in my blood. My mother wrote an original song to teach me the days of the week.

I feel very strongly in my opinion that everyone is responsible to themselves for what they do.
