I make a living with a song, and I feel honored to do something I love and believe in.

I've always had a love for poetry and when I got signed to a record label I thought, 'How odd that I'm doing a record before a book of poetry.'

I've always been a workhorse.

I have hundreds and hundreds of songs waiting to get on albums, but I don't know about the three-month radio tours and if I'll be interested in that. I haven't figured it out, but I will definitely be doing music, whether it is independent or with a major record label.

There is a pretty girl on the face of the magazine and all I see is my dirty hands turning the page.

It's really fun to see young kids trying to find excellence in themselves.

I was raised in a household where I read Nietzsche and Dostoyevsky and Kant, and I was never taught that my mind was feminine. I'm aware that my body is.
