I’m somebody who, as a child, had a lot of insecurity about stable housing, where I was going to be living, if I was going to have a roof over my head, all those types of things. And I know the impact it can have on you psychologically and emotionally.

I would always encourage people of any age not to be so quick to follow other people's truths but to search and follow your own moral code and live by your own integrity, and mostly just be brave.

It's important to cultivate a tolerance and patience with uncomfortable feelings. It's best to feel them.

I enjoy hard work, I love setting goals and achieving them.

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 don't feel like I've changed as much as radio formats have changed.

I love vulnerability. It's what keeps me soft and from becoming emotionally calcified.
