I was rapping at eight.

I just work - however people feel about it, I mean, at the end of the day, if I'm waiting for accolades, I could be waiting all my life, but I don't need that stuff to validate me. I just do what makes me happy.

Nobody can predict the future. You just have to give your all to the relationship you're in and do your best to take care of your partner, communicate and give them every last drop of love you have. I think one of the most important things in a relationship is caring for your significant other through good times and bad.

I take my spoken-word stuff extremely seriously because I feel like that's true writing, true lyricism.

People have always said I have an old soul, and all my best friends are 10 to 15 years my senior.

To me, a forever love is a bond that can't be broken.

I always try to be optimistic, but not to the point where I'm getting on people's nerves.
