“When I was younger I used to be really into photography, and I still am, I just don’t really get to do it besides taking my own artists photos and stuff like that.”

If you can’t handle a heart like mine, don’t waste your time with me.

I definitely fall in love quickly, and I’m very in love with being in love. But it is hard for me to write about love.

Everyone wants to be good but good is only what we’re taught to perceive.

Life boils down to two paths, love and fear. Which will you choose?

I just don’t really get to watch a lot of movies, like recently at least I haven’t been able to but I did watch The Exorcist for the first time ever, recently, and it didn’t scare me like I thought it was gonna scare me.

I’m insane, I’m emotional, but I’d rather be that than a robot. So that’s definitely something that I wanted to get out there. Especially with Cry Baby’s story, because the album is about Cry Baby but I realized that me and her went through the same change.

Just as quick as you receive my magic, I can take it away.

I’m gonna write from personal experience, from emotion, from whatever the hell I’m feeling that day.

I think honestly when I was younger I use to love going to carnivals in Long Island. I use to love carnival season; I would drive to every town going to carnivals. That was definitely a favorite memory.

I definitely love horror movies and all that for sure.

”God” is the Glue between us all.

It is aurora borealis when your eyes are shut. It is beyond what our language can convey or comprehend.

Just like a flower, we blossom and transform with the proper sunlight, a balanced amount of water, enough fresh air and when we are firmly planted in the ground.

Indulging in the pleasures of creation.

On the show [the Voice] I obviously wasn’t allowed [singing my own original music], because it’s not that type of show. I think it’s really cool that I get to do my own thing now.

Time traveling through roots to birth healing fruit.

As an artist myself I don’t like to be preached. I want to enjoy myself, so I kind of use that perspective to make music.

An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.

I can’t say any artist inspired me, because I’m inspired by the things that go on around me.

I love, love, love just being hands on at all times in the studio.

Do not strive to be a modern artist: it’s the one thing, unfortunately, you can’t help being.

My mother encouraged me to be artistic. It was written in a contract at an early age that I would be an artist.

I do have a lot of music out.

I feel like there’s a lot of pressure on artists to be 100-percent organic all the time.
