My parents were very young when they had me. They were still growing up and learning themselves. They did the best they could, but my mom and dad split up when I was little... So that kind of made me stronger.

He [Timbaland] meshes well with a lot of great people, like he meshes well with Timberlake, Missy Elliott, Nelly Furtado. I'm hoping I'm another one that he meshes well with, because it could be really genius.

It's crazy that I have so many fans that will appreciate me that much. It really gives me - I'm like, I wish that I really could love someone that much. Just think that there's so much power in being young and stuff like that.

I leave the hip thrusts to Michael Jackson.

I'm 19 years old. I think I'm doing a pretty good job...Basically from my heart I really just want to say it really should be about to music. It should be about the craft that I'm making. This is not a gimmick and I'm an artist and I should be taken seriously.

I'm still rough around the edges. I grew up with not a lot of money, and just played sports my whole life. So you develop the sports-mouth with all of your friends.

I make mistakes growing up. I'm not perfect; I'm not a robot.
