I've cried over string arrangements.

I really just want to encourage and inspire people to use their freedom in a positive way and in a way that is inspiring to other people. I want to continue to pass down the seeds of change within the world. I think that it can start with just one person. Just like a rumor can get carried on, so can inspiration.

You had to change who you were to become famous. I thought that for a very long time. Even after signing a record deal, and then eventually getting my own recording company, Wonderland Records, I had to say no to a lot of opportunities to become well known. If it didn't align with my values and if it didn't support the image I had created for myself, I'd pass.

Silence is our enemy, and sound is our weapon.

I always think about the next generation and creating a different blueprint for them. That's my goal: to let them know there's another way.

Embrace what makes you unique, even if it makes others uncomfortable.

First, before I'm an artist, before I'm a celebrity, I'm a human being.
