I don't make music to prove all the critics wrong. I do it to prove all my fans right.

Knowing so many people like myself who are singers and in traveling bands, the people you're in a relationship with feel slighted because they feel you're giving all your energy to your fans, and there's a lot of truth to that.

I've just really been into melody and lyrics and songwriting. Writing a rap, to me, is easy. I could write a rap like that.

I think what I've learned out of this lifetime is you should be proud of where you come from.
