To be honest with my music... for me to expect anyone to connect it has to come from a place of honesty.

People may not tell you how they feel about you, but they always show you. Pay attention.

I'll be honest; I'm a student of fashion. I say that because I just wear what I feel. I'm not led by name brands and things like that.

I prefer men to boys. To clear it up, it's not about an older or younger thing. It's a mindset, not age. There are 18-year-old men out there and there are 40-year-old boys.

Pretty as a picture, sweeter that a swisher. Mad ‘cause I’m cuter that the girl that’s with ya’.

Religion is, in fact, the dominion of the soul; it is the hope, the anchor of safety, the deliverance from evil. What a service has Christianity rendered to humanity!
