“I’ve always been a singer. I never really decided I was gonna be a singer. It just kind of – I just sung a lot.”

Don’t feel bad for wanting to keep your family safe.

A bitch is a bitch but a dog is a mans best friend

People are terrified of me, and I want them to be.

What makes a song last is real content from a mind that is thinking a little bit harder about certain things. A lot of artists don’t really think that hard.

People think you have to go through something to write about it, and you absolutely do not. You can write about, like, a shoe. It’s a story.

if i’m not here to love you what am i here for.

I hate the idea of genres.

I love movement. I love moshing.

You’re italic, I’m in bold.

You’re italic, I’m in bold.

Being an artist is way more interesting than just being a model because it’s about you and what you want to be.

You can write a song about being in love with someone, but you don’t have to be in love with anyone.

I find a lot of inspiration through visuals. When I was 12, I saw Aurora’s ‘Runaway’ music video. Something inside me clicked, like, ‘That is what I want to do, no matter whether it goes anywhere or not.’

I’m pretty sure I don’t have any songs that are about how much I love someone. They’re all either about, like, ‘I hate you,’ or ‘You make me hate me.

In real life, I’m a really smiley person. I smile when I talk and I laugh.

If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly.

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.

The most basic question is not what is best, but who shall decide what is best.

Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny.

If you take too long in deciding what to do with your life, you’ll find you’ve done it.

My greatest victory has been to be able to live with myself, to accept my shortcomings. I’m a long way from the human being I’d liked to be, but I’ve decided I’m not so bad after all.

I had decided that I would not go anywhere with a piece of paper in my hand asking white folks for any favors. I had made that decision myself, as an individual.
