“Using your voice is so punk rock.”

On the earth at the same time kind of vibe.

Its incredible how gentle and rough life is at the same time.

I am a complicated woman and I know it.

I know hundreds of woman who do not know to scream.

I’m so glad we found each other in this great big mess.

It took me a long time to grow into this heart.

I just want to be wrapped up in sheets and your vibe.

Basically it’s like this, sometimes you have to tell fear to gently fuck off.

Do not ever water down your love.

You are a living breathing museum.

The sexiest thing you can do is be yourself.

May you find energy that matches yours and never ever let it go.

I’m sorry if someone told you love was linear. They lied.

You could rip up the world with your truth.

I hope I show up so soft and warm in your dreams like you do in me.

I am a story you will tell someday and you will be smiling.

I think the transition between singing covers on a reality show to being able to do my own thing was really exciting. I’m no longer singing covers every second, and people are actually getting to hear my own original music.

Well, hip-hop is what makes the world go around.

Eminem is the greatest, ever.

I wanna make music that I feel proud of when I’m onstage, that I feel like I put my all into.

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.

Music doesn’t tell you where to go. It says, go find your own place. That’s what it told me.

I ain’t makin’ music for the media. I make music for the people in the streets – that want a street level of entertainment. I’m makin’ music because I have the streets to feed.

What I try to push and promote is peace through the whole music industry.
