“There’s a spark in you you’ve just gotta ignite the light and let it shine.”

I don’t need the Prince Charming to have my own happy ending.

I’m just singing about my own life. Singing about all the little stories in my life and the things I’ve been through.

I really like to look like a history book. I can look the 1940s, I can look 1970s hippie-chic, or sometimes I’ll pull that ’80s Brooklyn hip-hop kid with the door-knocker earrings.

So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road.

If you’re watching are you clutching your pearls like I am?

I came from a lot of intolerance and prejudice, which aren’t necessarily healthy to evolve as a human.

I got this Jesus tattoo on my wrist when I was 18 because I know that it’s always going to be a part of me. When I’m playing, it’s staring right back at me, saying, ‘Remember where you came from.’

I’m really happy to be on the cover as a strong female who has created her own career.

I love the Seahawks because of Russell [Wilson] and I think that I’m going to probably go for them!

I wanted it to be like Amy Grant, but it didn’t plan out that way. My label actually went bankrupt, and I was left without a home.

I think you become more relatable when you’re vulnerable.

Don’t care what people gonna think of you, do what you wanna do and seek just your happiness.

The hotter the fire the purer the gold is.

The past is like a handful of dust. It filters through your fingers, disappearing little by little. I wish, for one day, I could go back. In another life, I would do things differently.

I’m okay with having bad dance moves. I’m okay with having horrible lower teeth. That’s what makes me me, and for some reason, it’s worked out all right.

Recycle those nerves and make their adrenaline.
