Remember my friend, that knowledge is stronger than memory, and we should not trust the weaker
Both my mom and my grandma were really big influences on me not only by being strong and teaching me to be strong but also owning their salt as well.
I carry a weapon. I got a death threat a few years ago and was really scared. But I don't want bodyguards. I am my own security.
Usually, I cut songs by other people that are artists that I already love.
I think the unconditional love you get from an animal, especially a dog, is better than anything else.
When I got a record deal I said, 'I'm only wearing jeans. I'm not wearing frilly dresses. ' Dancing around in sequins is just not who I am. I wanted to be heard, not seen.
I just feel like it's easier to co-write sometimes, especially if you have chemistry with somebody. It kind of takes all the pressure off of you. But, you know, I started writing songs by myself. I didn't really have a co-writer, besides my dad. When I see a record and it has a song on it that someone wrote [alone], I just really believe in them as a writer. I feel like it's a window into them, more than it is if you write a song with someone else.
Optimists are right. So are pessimists. It's up to you to choose which you will be.
I'd love to have a hit record. I don't believe anyone that says they wouldn't like that.
Your own ego is the only trap that I think you can fall into.
If you fill your mind with a beautiful thought, there will be no room in it for an ugly one. - King Amor
