“I believe that marriage isn’t between a man and woman; but between love and love.”

Of course awards matter.

There’s just some magic in truth and honesty and openness.

I believe that I’m one of the best in the world at what I do, and that’s all I’ve ever wanted to be.

We were poor. But my mom never accepted that. She worked hard to become a residential contractor – got her master’s with honors at the University of New Orleans. I used to go to every class with her. Her father was my paternal figure.

I’m in this business to be creative – I’ll even diminish it and say to be a content provider.

I’m big on what’s in good taste.

My TV ain’t HD, that’s too real

I respect Drake not only as a creative person but as a business mind as well. I think Drake’s important.

I don’t intend to stop making music.

I booked my first studio at like 12 or 13. Somewhere in that season of my life, singing along with the radio became me wanting to be on radio.

I won’t touch on risky, because that’s subjective. People are just afraid of things too much. Afraid of things that don’t necessarily merit fear.

Those who are heartless, once cared too much.

Smile, it’s easier than explaning why you’re sad.

Don’t feel sad over someone who gave up on you, feel sorry for them because they gave up on someone who would have never given up on them.

How we experience memory sometimes, it’s not linear. We’re not telling the stories to ourselves. We know the story; we’re just seeing it in flashes overlaid.

It’s cool to be recognised by your peers.

Love and let yourself be loved.

Your thoughts were a prison and I? A helpless prisoner.

When you love someone, their name itself becomes an emotion.

Stupidity is what makes love beautiful. Being stupid and being in love go hand in hand.

Choosing yourself should not be an option, It should be a decision.

When they break you; collect your broken pieces & bloom elsewhere. For you’re a flower in the land of those who love you.

I hope you find someone, who pours love like rain during monsoon, onto all broken parts of you.

The world kept breaking you and here you are- still soft, still loving, how strong of you to maintain your magic in a world where everyone loses their essence.
