I'm my worst critic, and I like the fact that I can listen to myself now and make fun of myself, listen, make changes - 'Oh, man, that's messed up. Okay, I need to work on that; I need to work on this.'

I mean, I know my heart is not clean, and your heart is not clean, and none of our urban hearts are clean. But you can be washed again.

I like what I see when I'm looking at me when I'm walking past the mirror.

The music business is really, really small. The real music is becoming almost extinct, if you don't stay true to who you are.

God loves me and sent his son to die for me so I have to live to please him because he saved me when everyone abandoned me.

The music business is not a good place for people who don't know things.

Negative words are powerful boomerangs so be careful what you say about people and yourself.
