I'm not ashamed, or embarrassed. I'm happy that I grew up listening to gospel music and came from where I came from. I feel like I have a history and a story. That's what I am and that's what I'll always be from. I was never running away from it.

Recycle those nerves and make them adreneline.

I think it's great to dress up and play on all the girly features.

I'm just singing about my own life. Singing about all the little stories in my life and the things I've been through.

I really wanted to call this album Teenage Wet Dream.

I grew up raised in church, my parents are both traveling ministers. They blocked out MTV which was fine, but I'd find myself figuring out who New Kids On The Block were.

There's a spark in you you've just gotta ignite the light and let it SHINE.
