“A lot of people say if you can’t love yourself, then you can’t love others. It’s always different, but I definitely have loved a lot in my life.”

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.

I’m probably the most proud of “Mrs. Potato Head,” because I had that idea in my head for so long, and I tried writing that song one time and I just couldn’t tell the story the way I wanted to, and I couldn’t figure it out.

Even if the song meant a lot to me, I would still probably perform it live.

You are the seashell planting your existence on the shore catching the attention of many even if they aren’t picking you up, but just merely walking by.

My favorite performance would definitely be “Toxic,” which was my blind audition song. It was the start of it all and it was a song I had been covering before the show, so it was very dear to my heart.

Is it easier to pretend we are as perfect as the stars above?

My love language is chocolate.

Racism is stupid. It’s an insult to God, arrogantly implying that God goofed-up when he chose to make us all different.

I enjoy doing all different types of movies even though I am the most comfortable with comedy.

There are different flavours of sexiness.

Strategy is about making choices, trade-offs; it’s about deliberately choosing to be different.

We can always choose to perceive things differently. You can focus on what’s wrong in your life, or you can focus on what’s right.

Strategy is about setting yourself apart from the competition. It’s not a matter of being better at what you do – it’s a matter of being different at what you do.

All real change requires risk. You must take risks every day of your life. You must get up each morning and ask…: What can I do that is different?

Yankees don’t understand that the Southern way of talking is a language of nuance. What we can do in the South is we can take a word and change it just a little bit and make it mean something altogether different.
