At a certain point, I felt the need to submit to a higher level of religiosity to move away from my intuition and to accept an ultimate truth. I felt that in order to become a good person, I needed rules - lots of them - or else I would somehow fall apart. I am reclaiming myself. Trusting my goodness and my divine mission.

I think there is a tendency for people to get rigid and caught up in their beliefs of what is right and wrong, and they lose sight of humanity. Being human has to come first before right or wrong.

Before I was 14, I wanted to be a singer, an actor, or a hockey player. By 15, I knew I was going to be a singer.

People get so caught up in needing to know and having to prove themselves to be right, and I'm blown away by this.

I can't choose the most meaningful song that I've written. That would be like choosing one child over another. But first borns are always special.

When you meet somebody who is vulnerable, there is an attraction. There is something to that. There is beauty there.

I am reclaiming myself. Trusting my goodness and my divine mission.
