“A great song will say how you feel better than you ever could.”

I had the time of my life with you Glendale, Arizona.

Never believe anyone who tells you that you don’t deserve what you want.

Silence speaks so much louder than screaming tantrums. Never give anyone an excuse to say that you’re crazy.

I’m very aware and very conscious of the path I chose in life, and very aware of the path I didn’t choose.

I think you really have to tap into your sense of humor in order to survive.

People are going to judge you anyway, so you might as well do what you want.

So don’t you worry your pretty little mind because people throw rocks at things that shine.

Love is unpredictable and it’s frustrating and it’s tragic and it’s beautiful.

Your crush is coming, act natural.

I love writing songs because I love preserving memories, like putting a picture frame around a feeling you once had.

My favorite thing in the world is telling stories, and most of what I do is telling stories through music.

Growing up is scary because it happens without you knowing it.

And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they’ll never stop doing, I think it’s fearless to stop believing them. It’s fearless to say “you’re not sorry” and walk away.

When you fight to honor racists, you show black Tennesseans and all of their allies where you stand, and you continue this cycle of hurt. You can’t change history, but you can change this.

Any relationship I ever have will have to be hidden, or else it will be destroyed before it even starts.

Nothing ruins your day more than getting a bad review.

I suffer from deep depression, so my only release is music.

Performing has always been my favorite part of working in music.

To me, music is spiritual. So it moves you in, like, a weird way that you cannot teach in school.

Even in high school, I went through a lot of relationship issues, and that’s at the center of my music.

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

As an artist myself I don’t like to be preached. I want to enjoy myself, so I kind of use that perspective to make music.

The highest goal of music is to connect one’s soul to their Divine Nature, not entertainment.

The music is always blasting wherever I am that people always knock on my door and say, “It’s too loud!”
