“I want to be real. I want to be a real person. That’s what an artist is. An artist has to be honest. Without honesty, there’s nothing.”

We run things, things don’t run we.

If you look at me as a role model, I agree with it. If you look at me as an idol, I don’t because an idol for me is someone that you want to replicate. You want to be them and I don’t wish that on anyone to lose what they have personally, because that’s when your spark is lost.

My mom is always telling me it takes a long time to get to the top, but a short time to get to the bottom.

I think water’s, like, a really important thing.

I like Kurt Cobain. He is like my dream boyfriend.

I guess I kind of realized that my whole life isn’t one giant press junket. I don’t have to be smiling all the time and always have the perfect answer.

You need to see things, REALLY see them, feel them, live them, so you know what’s big and what’s little, what matters and what to put aside.

My dad used to tell me ‘opinions are like assholes, everybody has one’

Fear’s the only obstacle that gets in the way of doing what we love. Fear holds us back from living the lives we’re made to live.

God wants my life to be about being successful and being happy and blessing other people and being blessed.

I like being the girl nobody can have.

I’m the most antimedication person, but some people need medicine, and there was a time where I needed some too.

The greatest opportunities in life come with fear and risk.

This is a new point in my life, and things are totally changing. But like the sunsets I saw on Tybee Island, the miles I’ve already gone are going to stay with me.

NOTHING can/will define me! Free to be EVERYTHING!!!

It’s so much easier to know who you are when there aren’t a thousand people telling you who they think you are.

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, an poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be.

I think the key is basically just your determination. As far an artist is concerned, it’s just about your drive and your dream.

I’m quite arty. I didn’t know whether to become an artist or musician but I realised I could paint with music. All my songs have colours.

A composer is a guy who goes around forcing his will on unsuspecting air molecules, often with the assistance of unsuspecting musicians.

Modern music is people who can’t think signing artists who can’t write songs to make records for people who can’t hear.

I’m excited to be growing as an artist and doing unexpected things.

A great poet to me is a person who can describe a painting in such ways that even a person with closed eyes can feel the pain of the artist.
