Sometimes I get this gut feeling about people - maybe I sense a hidden agenda or that they care for the money more than the message. I wish that I'd listen to that feeling instead of waiting for the truth to rear its ugly head. I'm a smart girl. I'm loyal. But sometimes I'm too loyal. I'm not loyal enough to myself.

I want my fans to love themselves. It's almost like I want to hypnotize them so when they hear my music they love themselves instantly.

All that ever holds somebody back, I think, is fear. For a minute I had fear. [Then] I went into the [dressing] room and shot my fear in the face.

Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put on some sunglasses because we were born this way.

I'm always trying to create something that the fans won't expect.

People love the chaos in my brain, but I'm terrified of it.

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.
