In the music industry it's just you're either Black or white, and this is the box you get put in.

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.

The thing that makes me most vulnerable is romantic relationship.

When it comes down to the song writing, I'm just very slow - very slow. Because the songs are about my life, so I'm doing emotional work on myself. As I'm writing these songs, I have to learn these lessons and dig real deep into my heart to write this stuff.

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

God is infinitely creative, and everyone's different, and everyone has a different path, a different lesson, a different song, a different face, a different voice.

What tried to demolish me, I allowed to polish me.
