Some people go to college. For me I studied music my whole life. That was my college.

My gift and my curse is that I really want to be loved. What drives me to make music is love - whether it's shallow or deep or whatever. I want to do things that make people love me.

You have to give love to get love.

I just want to say that dreams do come true. Don't ever give up on your dreams. Sometimes it just takes a little bit longer for some of us.

Being critical is not something I like to do. I like to appreciate and inspire.

I really try to wake up with my music the same as I do with my life, and that is with no expectations. I just feel what I feel that day and follow it.

I'm trying to create the world around myself to be a place of as much equality and openheartedness as possible.
