I leave the genre labeling to other people. I really do. If I were to think too hard about it, that would stifle you creatively. If you think too hard about who other people want you to be as an artist, it stops you from being who you want to be as an artist.

I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show.

If somebody hurts you, it's okay to cry a river, just remember to build a bridge and get over it.

I put out one album one week, and I'm already worried about the next one. I feel a lot of emotion throughout the course of a day. But not to the point where you need to be worried about me.

I don't compare myself to anyone else; I don't make comments about anyone else because they do what feels right for them, and that's okay by me.

You start to realize that the things that are different about you are the things that make you special. And, as cliche as at that sounds, you realize that if you are lucky enough to have something that is different about you...don't try to hide it. I don't try to blend in anymore, it's all about standing out.

The worst possible way a relationship can end is when somebody cheats on somebody else.
