“These times are so hard, and they’re getting even harder.”

To the people I forgot, you weren’t on my mind for some reason and you probably don’t deserve any thanks anyway.

Trust is hard to come by. That’s why my circle is small and tight. I’m kind of funny about making new friends.

The moment I used my adversity to my advantage, my career exploded.

Had a dream, I was King, I woke up, still King.

Stop having a boring life.

I don’t care if you’re black, white, straight, bisexual, gay, lesbian, short, tall, fat, skinny, rich or poor. If you’re nice to me, I’ll be nice to you. Simple as that.

Don’t let them tell you ain’t beautiful.

It creeps me out sometimes to think of the person I was. I was a terrible person. I was mean to people.

If I had one wish I would ask for a big enough for the whole world to kiss.

If I’m not passionate about it, I can’t write it. I can’t fake it.

I bully myself cause I make me do what I put my mind to.

My family has never been there for me. They expect things because we’re blood.

Opportunity comes once in a lifetime.

If you get offended by my music, don’t listen to it.

Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can’t get it out, I start feeling bad about myself – a lot of self-loathing.

Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.

Being married means I can break wind and eat ice cream in bed.

Some days, all of it aches with beauty.  Others, it all just aches with you.

Don’t get mad. Get everything. – (on divorce).

We have the power to break us and we have the power to heal us.

Baby, I’ve tried, but I can’t unlove you.

The hardest part of leaving is to make it look so easy… isn’t that the unfortunate fuckin truth.

I believe women still face a glass ceiling that must be shattered.

It’s always been hard for me to walk away from people I love when I’ve grown to become reliant on even some of their most harmful traits.
