Criticism is always going to be painful. You live through it. I'll live through it now. It's even harder when you're younger. You don't have the maturity. You're still developing. If you get damaged while you're developing, it's a psychological battle after that. Today, if I get the criticism, I'm not bothered...if I wear the wrong thing, I'm not going to lose sleep over it. Maybe when I was younger, I might have been more affected by that.

You can't just turn love on and off.

Art is a platform where self-expression should not be limited. I'm here to inspire. There is no age limit to that.

A happy heart comes first, then the happy face.

My voice is stronger today than ever.

There was a time when I was - after my very first record from Nashville, I thought I might not be one of those who actually really makes it, and I may end up back in Canada, just playing clubs. And that might - this might have just been it.

I really admire artists that are willing to take a different approach and a different angle to their shows.
