Suffering is optional. You’re gonna have some pain but it doesn’t have to make you suffer.

I've always been very spiritual, since I was a very, very young child. The older I get, I'm reading more, I'm experiencing more, and so that's all reflected in all of my music. All of my fans are pretty familiar with me and my beliefs. It's all about connecting to yourself and sticking to your own spirituality.

I don't feel like I have to use big words or theories to get my point across. People are like, "Whoa. That's crazy" and make it into this crazy thing.

I'm creating songs. I do it most of the time, in the car or in the house.

The way you feel is not my problem.

I know like the Wiz Khalifah one, got me excited because I like his music, and its almost like you know I can relate to his music, so I feel like dang if he listens to my stuff and thought it was good then maybe I'm as good as him, you know what I mean?

I'm probably my biggest critic. There's nothing anyone can ask of me that I haven't already asked of myself.
