[Writing] has helped me meet people.

It varies, I don't think there is any one set way of writing songs or coming up with ideas, it comes in so many ways you know.

I had a chip on my shoulders 'cause I felt like I was being overlooked.

I feel like I'm being put inside a box, and I'm not necessarily getting a chance. Like I'm not getting the shot that I deserve. So that's what Rare is about 'cause I feel because I am the way that I am, and I don't necessarily fit the mold of a lot of different artists that's out, it's like I'm not getting the chance to show what I can do. So, that's basically all the frustration of that, and everything is pretty much Rare for me anyway.

I've always been very interested in the visual aspect of what I do.

I work on words, mostly, toward them being poetry or short stories, and then some of those become songs.

I don't like things to be handed to me on a plate; that means nothing. I like to go through layers of unraveling and every time I listen to something, it makes me feel something different. Now I'm aware of the conflict that's going on, but at the time I just let what was happening happen.
