If there was some sort of mathematical equation for beauty, I don’t know if I would be the algorithm. I’m not a supermodel. That’s not what I do. What I do is music. I want my fans to feel the way I do, to know what they have to offer is just as important, more important, than what’s happening on the outside.

I see love in black and white. Passion in shades of “gris”. But when it comes to you and I, color is all I see.

Bare your struggles very close to your heart and have them be a part of you that you’re proud of instead of something that you’re ashamed of.

I'm telling you a lie in a vicious effort that you will repeat my lie over and over until it becomes true

I try to not focus on what people expect from me.

You have to be careful about how much you reveal to people that look up to you so much.
