fighting done want
I've done a lot of fighting in my time, and I'm down to do some more. I don't want to, but you know, there's just certain things that you can't sit down and take.
mother children doctors
I was conceived after doctors told my mother she'd never have children. I'm a miracle - we all are.
writing firsts so-hurt
Heartbreak was the impetus to me writing poems and music in the first place.
art fall use
Whatever happens in my life, whether I stand up or I fall down, whatever the case, I'm going to use it in my art. Why? Because I'm an artist and I have to.
space people booty
It's frustrating me - that booty is gonna sag at some point. And if you allow enough people to come inside your physical space, they leave traces.
simple this-life hanging-out
I'm going to do as much as I can with this life, and then I'm going to make sure to take some time off and be simple and ride my bike and hang out with friends.
diversity creative unhappy
I need to find creative diversity because if I get stuck, I get unhappy.
mother growing-up play
When I was growing up, my mother would take me to plays and museums, and we'd talk about life. Those times helped shape who I became.
mother school journey
Lately I've been going to all these high schools talking to the students, answering their questions, listening to what they have to say. It has been an incredible journey to be around them and try to give them what my mother gave me.
nasty individual stepfathers
My stepfather was a very nasty individual.
beautiful feeling-beautiful feels
When I get onstage, I automatically feel beautiful.
divorce thinking engagement
I don't think I'll get married again. I'm not looking for it. What I can say about my divorce and my failed engagement is that I learned where my bar is.
steps breaths every-step
God is ever present. He's in every breath, in every step. He's here, always, always.
dream people watches
For a writer it's a dream to sit and watch people as close as possible.
