Canada had the good health-care system and educational system. It was a privilege for me to grow up there.

I consider myself more of an international artist than I do a one-territory artist, which I think is a blessing.

I am a bit of a hopeless romantic. I really do have a faith and a belief in love, and when I love, I love hard.

Once I started performing I knew that's what I wanted to do with my life. But you have to work really hard to be a performer.

Before I could even hold a pen I was singing.

I always feel like music should be a universal language.

The true essence of fashion is being able to reinvent yourself with what you have.
