What does it mean when your heart's already numb? You're a professional.

I can never be Michael Jackson or do what he did, but he is definitely a good inspiration: I want to give the kids that feeling.

When Michael (Jackson) died, it felt like part of my family died. I want [my fans] to know that my music is for them and if, god forbid, anything happened [to me], it would be like a piece of them is gone.

Ain't nobody gonna care enough to catch you fall.

I'm too full to swallow my pride

I've been singing my whole life. I'd randomly sing in the hallways at high school, and all my friends would be like, 'You should sing on 'Canadian Idol'!" It definitely gassed me!

I feel like my singing is not conventional. I mean, if you look at technique, I'm not a technical singer.
