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

If we didn't have understanding of our journey, we wouldn't be able to go on. We'd be stuck, like, 'Why me?'

I didn't never have to go to a therapist. I just always put it in a song and you heard me.

I can't just make a song people can dance in a club to... it still has to be real.

People in my neighborhood inspired me to sing. Believe in your ability no matter what, but be realistic with yourself and your ability.

When life is real, it's not going to be smooth.

Working in the studio is a more personal experience whereas on stage in front of a billion people, its more exciting performing live.
