I want to talk about things that are tangible and real to me, but I also want to do them in a way that's poetic and artistic.

I do not think good art comes from comfort. While from a humanistic standpoint I would have much rather been at my home that I own, surrounded by friends and family and controlling my environment completely.

Sometimes my hands they don’t feel like my own; I need someone to love, I need someone to hold.

I like what I like, I don't like what I don't like, and I'm very bad at toning myself down.

You get one chance to make an impression and coasting through is a disservice.

My love of R&B and hip-hop has influenced my life not even as a musician, but generally in terms of growing up and looking to America as an inspiration.

The idea of trying to predict what people will or won't respond to is risky.
