I discovered that my insecurities and my flaws were things that I actually need to embrace, and I let them become my superpowers.

I would say that nobody is going to work harder for your career than yourself - the one with the vision. No matter how many people you hire, nobody is going to get is as much as yourself does. So it's really important to be your own leader at all times and not hand it all off, otherwise the whole empire will fall apart.

I don't think I have changed my personality as much as I have evolved as a human. Before the name change, I was very timid, very self-conscious. Just not very confident. When I changed my name, it came from a place of power.

Putting out a debut album is a bit scary - I want it to be just right, so I took some extra time to finish it. Eminem's increased involvement has been such a blessing; I'm getting guidance from an artist I really admire and trust.

Expectations are an evil thing.

But do you ever think of me, when you lie? Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies.

Once I've learned all those things and gotten through the hard times, I come out feeling really powerful.
