My music comes from my emotion, always.

I think I can connect with an audience because I know what it's like to be on the other side of it and I really remember all of that.

If youve ever lived in Chicago, anyone who has, they know what a winter in Chicago is like. To be going through a tough time here in the winter would be just be all the more worse.

I'd love to work with Sufjan Stevens. He so gets it. He's amazing.

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

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.

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