Children always think they did something wrong when their parents disappear.

Sometimes I was in a mood to write a song as if I was writing in my journal and reveal certain parts of me that I was ready to reveal.

My priority is my family, absolutely, 100 percent.

All the criticism is ultimately a blessing in disguise. Because now people know about Malawi [due to the child adoption]. And now people know about the orphans there. And hopefully it's gonna turn around. And a positive is gonna come out of the negative.

If I have a problem, I want to work it out, right now.

Part of the reason I sort of shot out like a cannon out of Michigan and left home at such an early age is because I had to feel independent.

I want to keep growing and living life to the fullest for as long as I'm on this planet.
