Heartbreak was the impetus to me writing poems and music in the first place.

My grill is intended to be discreet. It's there because I enjoy jewelry.

That's what I enjoy most about my music, that it heals in its own time and makes us look at ourselves in its own time.

My grandmother told me: 'Never be in debt to anyone or anything.' Which is probably why I've never been financially extravagant - I still go to Costco. I'm always conscious of living within my means.

My heart and prayers go out to all single moms because it's tough, and I can't imagine any teenager dealing with a baby and all those hormones raging.

My stepfather was a very nasty individual.

I am more spiritual than religious.
