Japanese music was so crazy! The J-pop and everything. I never scooped up an album or anything.

I feel like I kind of got my own lane, but I think if you mix T.I., Andre3000, Hov and Kanye you kinda get who I am. And I'm a huge fan of all of those artists, I grew up on a little bit of all them.

I can't wait until the record label feels like it's time for my album to come out, and then just disappear.

I'm going to keep proving people wrong, whether it's my record label, other artists.

I just continue to grind on my own. You can't deny good music at the end of the day.

I'm always looking for good music.

Atlanta is not like New York, where everybody piles into one place.

A lot of artists just put on the people they can make money off of.

I try to only work with people whose craft I believe in.

Embrace each day with a warm heart and a big smile, because every gift of a new day is truly a big blessing.

We at Chrysler borrow money the old-fashioned way. We pay it back.

I was probably the only professed revolutionary ever referred to as "cute."

Only in Jesus are we able to pray, and with Him we also know that we shall be heard.

The only riots were the people trying to get tickets.

In a pinch, I could always get work in pictures as a makeup artist.

It's so much easier to count our disadvantages than tot up the mitigating circumstances that generally outweigh the despair.

I'm a natural blonde, but I feel like a brunette. I feel like people treat me now how I should be treated. People used to be shocked, when I was blond, that I wasn't stupid.

Awareness is an inner quality of consciousness; it has nothing to do with closed or open eyes.

If you wait, people will forget your camera, and the soul will drift up into view.
