“I think what people are attracted to about me, if anything, is my passion. People got exposed to my passion through music and song first.”

I have inner peace. It’s a different person.

Now I may have faith/ to make mountains fall/ But if I lack love/ then I am nothin’ at all.

Don’t be a hard rock when you really are a gem!

Consequence is no coincidence.

When you’re young and everything dramatic is exciting, you start to believe that hype that, in order to be an artist, you have to suffer. I’ve graduated from that school.

Reality is easy. It’s deception that’s the hard work.

We don’t want people to have expectations of us, but then we have expectations of everybody else.
