That's the crazy part about music, that you can just be someone and it means something.

If you're a voice for a community, then you're a voice for something more than yourself. I want to have an impact, because I don't want anybody to have to go through what I went through.

Everybody deserves a right to be happy.

Everyone serves a purpose.

I live in a pretty liberal place, so it's a lot of hidden racism and things like that. If you really look up California, it's a really shitty place when it comes to things like that. So I think it will just take time. Old people have to die. Once the generation right under my Mom dies, we'll be fine.

You have to be able to differentiate between the different areas of life. It shows that we're all separate people, we're all different, but we're all the same.

Every song with lyrics is lyrical.
