I never do any album to beat it. I do it to extend it.
My responsibility to God is to live. That's the gift he gave me. What I do with it is up to me.

No one compares to you. Just remember that. There's no one out there - there's only one of you, and that's it. And whatever you believe about you that's great, no one else has it.
