While I wanted to be supportive of Kanye [west] on the phone call, you cannot 'approve' a song you haven't heard. Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination.

I'm always afraid of failing. I have to quiet that fear if I'm going to get up in the morning.

I'm a songwriter. Everything affects me.

I've always strived to be successful, not famous.

I'm taking pictures in my mind so i can save them for a rainy day.

If people ask me about it, I think it would be great for me to be like, 'Look, [Kanye West] called me and told me the line before it came out. Like, joke's on you guys, we're fine'.

I don't like to feel like I'm some fragile package that has to be shipped by high-priority mail and handled with white gloves.
