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 used to be so afraid to say what I really think.
At the end of the day, I think that music lovers are going to love me. I think the pop songs that are on my album will be loved by the pop listeners and the R&B songs will be loved by the R&B people. I think that each song has a broad enough sound that I won't be pigeon holed. At the same time I think it is appealing to many different audiences.
I think everything that happens in life we're prepared for in ways we really don't really know.
People are mean and hateful, angry - haters everywhere, stupid blogs.
Art is love and it covers. It sheilds.
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.
My ears sort of turn off when someone tells me that what my heart is saying isn't a good idea.
A female piano player is always pretty cool to me.
I like trendy clothes just like everybody else does.
I'm going to go out on tour when I feel like going on tour.
It doesn't take a year to sing a song. Takes a year for people to figure out how to market it.
Meeting all the wonderful, new people and people appreciating my new music has been a really fun and blessed ride.
My shaven head is my way of saying 'I wont take no for an answer,' it is my way of saying 'I believe in my creativity and artistry.
