I really didn't try to make an effort to make urban music, but I am a product of my inspirations.

I like woman who doesn't necessarily care if other people like her. She is she who she is and figures people can take it or leave it. What I do like is a woman who has the guts to tell exactly as she feels. It's not appealing when a woman dresses to please a man. It's way more attractive if she has her own distinct style and wears what she feels best in.

The best part about being alone is that you really don't have to answer to anybody. You do what you want.

I feel very fortunate to be compared to somebody so incredible. Michael Jackson's an icon.

I think with each generation comes more opportunity. At least that's the way that I see it. I grew up in a generation that watched the birth of the internet. We all have. But I feel like I look around at the generation younger than me and it's a very opportunistic mantra.

I think people sometimes don't pay enough attention to what they do. I've done well, but the reason is pretty simple: I've worked my ass off. The toughest thing a performer can do is make it look as if it comes easy.

I like simple things. I like to sneak in the theatre and watch movies. I'm a movie buff.
