If you want to put out a song that you wrote yesterday tomorrow, go on Twitter, type in a new URL, and give it to the people!

People are mean and hateful, angry - haters everywhere, stupid blogs.

I'm an advocate of music in schools. It's important to me that music is in as many schools as possible across this country and across the world. I think that it's a lost art form because kids aren't as exposed to it as maybe they used to be, or should be. I was exposed heavily to jazz and that's why I love it.

Truth is, I cut my hair for freedom, not for beauty.

I think everything that happens in life we're prepared for in ways we really don't really know.

Meeting all the wonderful, new people and people appreciating my new music has been a really fun and blessed ride.

Art is love and it covers. It sheilds.

When I was in school I used to prank my teachers all the time. But I was really, really nice. I love to make people laugh. And even in those pranks, the teachers would laugh most of the time.

I like trendy clothes just like everybody else does.

God is in control and knowing that at the end of the day what happens - whether I'm comfortable with it or not or afraid of it or not - that God is in control.

When you're an artist you're speaking about life, you're talking about your experience here on the planet. So essentially, that's what I do when I'm writing songs.

It doesn't take a year to sing a song. Takes a year for people to figure out how to market it.

My hair and I had a really bad argument. She was being sprayed with alcohol and burnt with irons. She was being over processed and yanked and pulled by weave strings and suffocated by glue. She told me if I didn't straighten up and fly right that she was leaving.

I have epiphanies all the time, because I'm always thinking. I'm a thinker. I'm always writing poetry, I'm always coming to conclusions.

I'm going to go out on tour when I feel like going on tour.

My ears sort of turn off when someone tells me that what my heart is saying isn’t a good idea.
