I guess when I got into my preteens, I turned about 12 and I decided to sing R&B, because I felt like one day there were some things I felt like I would want to say, that I couldn't say with gospel music.

Everybody is going to love me and this is not being cocky - this is just what I see.

When I find myself having that much trouble with a song or a character or a story, I tend to move on.

I think the way I write is kind of naturally rhythmic. If there's anything of my own in my writing, I think that's my own thing. Like when I start a song, I almost hear the rhythm more than the melody.

I'm not great with breathing, like holding notes. I usually don't. A lot of people wouldn't believe it, but I don't focus on technical stuff.

Why do we love love when love seems to hate us?

I think a lot of the way that I try to write my stories come from watching my mom write plays and trying to do that.
