Music, to me, if it's good, it's good. That's all that matters.

Music was my life...It was everything to me, even though I was in school majoring in English. I was still very focused on music and always finding ways to perform, so that was what set me up to want to become a recording artist.

It's important for us to fight for certain changes that need to happen. And one of those issues that I really care about is education. But also another one is incarceration.

London is a good fashion city. They're a little more daring. There's the element of the aristocracy, which is always interesting.

We're just ordinary people. We don't know which way to go.

Even if you can sing or even if you can write a song, it takes a lot of determination, it takes some kind of thick skin, because you got to persevere despite the fact that people tell you you shouldn't do this or you shouldn't do that or you're not good enough or your style's too different. I've heard all of that stuff.

I guess a lot of times pressure is put on something after it becomes big.
