When I was a kid, I needed to sing because it makes me feel good about myself. It makes me feel good, period.

I've learned so much from all my mistakes. I just wish I had gotten my education.

It's sad that a lot of identities are lost and a lot of careers are lost because there's sort of a clone thing going on.

I have to have lemon and honey. I have to have apple cider vinegar, Braggs. And I have to have either Red Vines or Twizzlers. These things, you know, are the things that help my vocal performance.

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

I was inspired to create 'My Life' so I could finally share a personal part of my life beyond my music.

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.
