Me as a person...I'm really laid back, I'm really an on my own time type of person so its just kind of like if I have to compromise some of that for the mainstream success...to me its not really worth it. I just like to sing.

I don't think I have a sad life. I just talk about all my feelings and emotions.

Of course we live in a world where we have to make money to eat so that's always nice to be able to sing and make money but to do something I love and to be able to eat from...it's great.

I always go to my Kanye [West], Jay-Z. I go back to alot of the stuff that I know for sure that I like.

I want to write some books. Books that have nothing to do with music, just some fiction type of books for a whole different audience of people.

I appreciate when people listen to the sad songs, because it's almost like telling someone your problems and having them listen with a compassionate ear.

You have got to trust the signs. Everything will turn out fine
