I went to Catholic school for 12 years and went to church every Sunday. I may not do that anymore but I think it gave me a good basis. I've also explored things on my own different philosophies and spiritual teachings and I use what works for me.

I only do what my gut tells me to. I think it's smart to listen to other people's advice, but at the end of the day, you're the only one who can tell you what's right for you.

It was easy to blame other people for treating me in ways I didn't like, but now I was seeing that I was the one at fault. The only way you can be mistreated is by allowing yourself to be mistreated, and that was something I did over and over again. Somehow, I needed to find that glimmer of self-respect, buried deep inside, that would allow me to say: I am never going to let that happen to me again. I needed to learn how to stand up for myself in a different way, but I didn't know how.

You have to take care of yourself, your body, your mind, take care of your soul-be your own keeper.

You can’t let the fear of what people might say or think stop you from doing what you want to do or else we would never do anything.

I love working with the singers. I love just finding them.

My mom always told me that if you work hard, you can achieve anything. And it's true. It's one of the truest things ever.
