My brothers used to beat me up, but I used to fight my sisters 'cuz I couldn't hit them back, so I had to find specific severe ways to punish them.
Drugs are horrible; I say no to drugs. I've never done drugs in my life.
I hate when I lose my voice and then people try and talk to me and I seem like I'm being rude and then I hurt their feelings. That sucks.
When I was a kid I used to want to be a Beethoven or something. That was my dream.
People just tell me I'm supposed to be sensitive, and I'm not. But I think I'm very emotional. I'm very caring.
When you have this job [as an entertainer] you're suddenly not a person anymore.
Sprite really does taste different everywhere! That's like a fact. Because of certain regulations, you can only put so many sugars...
I feel like that's the reason a lot of pop music doesn't have that grasp that other forms of music do, because it's more rooted in only the happier aspects of life - there's not really a connection.
I'm mad emotional. But my emotions are - I don't really get just like sad, I get hyper, and I be like mad, and I get hungry - that's like my main emotion.
School doesn't really teach you how to interact with people properly, you learn that outside of school.
I think there's too much of the wrong type of influences that stem from hip-hop.
If you try to make music and try to convey to everyone that everything is all peachy-keen, you might come off like you're full of it, and that could be something that draws listeners away.
I remember, once, my sister used to tell me that they found me in the trash-can when I was younger, so one time I pushed my sister into a trash-can - I put it over her head and pushed her down the street. And then after that, we been close ever since.
It's human nature, we take a mile when we're given an inch. We're crazy. You see what we did to the animals! They don't even exist anymore!
