I don't need anybody to market or promote me. If people don't want to hear this music, then it's not for them. You cannot please everybody.

I am just beginning to be more comfortable with my identity.

You improve yourself and light up the corner that you live on. You may not touch a gazillion lives, but you can light up your own space, light up your home.

In my life the most influential people are people who are sort of brought to me, as opposed to people I seek out.

I think what people are attracted to about me, if anything, is my passion. People got exposed to my passion through music and song first.

Every day is a lesson in focus for me, and not buying into the world's concept of what you have to be. I really try every day to be individual and not just in my style or my look or my music, but in my approach to life.

I consider myself a crayon... I may not be your favorite color but one day you'll need me to complete your picture.
