“I never had innocence.”

I’ve made this decision not to talk to the press about anything that’s gone on in my life, but just to write music about it. They can interpret it themselves.

Whenever God restores something, He restores it to a place greater than it was before.

Music is real; it’s something you can touch and feel. It moves you – the bass literally shakes you and rocks you from the inside.

Music makes your soul feel amazing while you’re performing it. It’s not air, it’s not wind, it’s not anything like that. It’s solid. It’s thick. It’s like summertime in New York.

You never really want anything you can easily have.

I can’t change the world. I have to fix me.

A beast can never be as cruel as a human being, so artistically, so picturesquely cruel.

Never complain. Never explain.

Never make excuses. Your friends don’t need them and your foes won’t believe them.

The heart never forgets what makes it happy. Happiness helps the wounds heal into scars.

Never help an ungrateful person get on their feet.

Choosing yourself first is never selfish.

In control of my destiny never in doubt.

The tongue can conceal the truth, but the eyes never.
