I have to be very careful about diet and exercise.
By the second tour I had rice cakes and hummus with me, and I was jumping rope in my room.
Be kind. It's very needed to be respectful to all.
Did people think I sounded black? Totally, but that was a marketing tool as well, but also this is how I grew up and these are my influences.
I don't always win at this, but I know I do better when I meditate.
But once you strip that down, you realize it's all about a voice, like a Norah Jones - that's inspiring to me.
