“Traveling is the worst for skin, and it shows instantly. Once you’re working non-stop, you can instantly see it.”

If you see a fairy tell her I called.

For me, my aim is to just be as good as possible. If people do look up at me I have to set the best example I can.

My goal is to get my music out to as many people as possible. That a song of mine is being played on the radio so far away from home really, really pushes me. It’s everything I’ve dreamed of.

My gang sign is the love heart.

I’m learning to accept myself. I’m still in the process of learning to love who I am.

Social media can sometimes influence the charts, but I think that only great music makes it to the top. The good songs make it.

I’ll bring you flowers in the pouring rain.

I still take a lot of pride in being able to write my own songs. My story’s coming from me.

Success, to me, is just doing things I’m really proud of.

I love Pink and Nelly Furtado – the honesty and truth in their lyrics. I also love Kendrick Lamar and Chance the Rapper.

Don’t talk to me or my son again.

I can’t dance. If I try, I’ll trip onstage.

I never really wanted to base success on charts and chart positioning. For me, it’s really about the shows and seeing them grow.

The brighter the hair the closer to god.

I’m heavily influenced by the Nineties – I love juxtaposing a slip dress with trainers and a vintage leather jacket.

A classic with a twist.

I see hip-hop as going in a self-managing place. It’s very culturally controlled and artist-controlled. It’s not really based on a label anymore. Everything is pretty much in the control of the artist. Which is amazing.

All those who came out of my neighborhood before me. Beyond those you see on TV, the most important people are those who are close to you because they share the same reality.

I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center.

I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more

Being a celebrity or anything else where you’re really ambitious, it’s really a game to see how successful you can get.

Do your duty as you see it, and damn the consequences.

Doing my best not to dwell; I just thought you couldn’t wait to see me too.

Doubts are seen flowing away along with that special kind of blue in his eyes.
