I like blue a lot, and greens. Earthy blues and greens.

I don't like to have really any expectations for myself.

Food in Chicago is the best.

I love knowing that people are connecting to my lyrics, my music and me.

I know what it's like to be shoveling to pay bills. I know what it's like to not have a job.

My music comes from my emotion, always.

This is America - you're allowed to say and do what you want and what you say and do defines who you are as a person.
