I am not worthy to be on a Mariah Carey record. She's a true artist, so I just step back and watch the genius occur.

You can't love music without loving the Beatles.

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

I am always the first to say that fame and entertainment is one of the best and easiest occupations to ever have, but one must know how to navigate through the matrix or you may find yourself in a very dark hole.

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

People are looking for something new at the end of the day, and I think when people can do something new and unique to get people's attention, that's what is needed. There's so many people that follow the trend, and then it gets to a point where it gets a little stale. So, in music, I mean, whoever's the new trendsetter, that's who people follow.

My father...made us shop at Goodwill. I found things to wear and got Best Dressed (in the yearbook) two years in a row. I had lemons, so I made lemonade.
