I listen to other artists, cuz its like every artist wanna hear something that they never heard before.

You just gotta be yourself. Like be yourself and if it works out for you, grind hard. Don't get lost in it. And have fun.

You get comparisons with anything in life. I think that if you [are] taking the time out to compare me to somebody, then I must be doing something right.

I want my foundation built, and I want to be strong enough to deal with everything coming my way.

I want to give people the message and let them feel my emotion behind it.

I'm putting my emotion out on stage so people can actually feel me. If you feel somebody's art and you see them perform it and they aren't feeling it, that's one of the first things in the game.

There's a lot of people out there that's starting to sound like me so I guess I'm doing something right.

I never pay attention, to no numbers, no views, comments ... I just try to keep on going, keep on living my life so I can continue to put out music that's real.

I like it when girls are screaming for me. It makes me feel really player-like. I enjoy being out there, delivering my songs, and putting a face to the music.

I don't know what it means to be a star because I don't really look at myself like a star. I look at myself as a regular person, just like everybody else. I just love what I do.

A fan can only go as far as you let them. I've seen crazy things like girls having me autograph their body and then they go get it tattooed. I guess that's too far, but it's cool with me.

I don’t think the objective of an abortion clinic is to try to talk women out of having the procedure. That obviously would not be positive for their bottom line.

We didn't think we were a fourth-place team. For us to beat the first-place team in the West and the first-place team in the East shows the dedication and determination that we had.

It is hard to believe that something that seems so permanent was once so different. Change. I guess that really is one thing you can count on.

You are good for nothing unless you are clever.

Every man at the bottom of his heart believes that he is a born detective.

My philosophy is pretty simple – any day nobody’s trying to kill me is a good day in my book.

Women need to become literary "criminals," break the literary laws and reinvent their own, because the established laws prevent women from presenting the reality of their lives.

If you wanna look good and not be bummy, girl you better give me that money Aooow...

You need to surround yourself with quality human beings that are intelligent and have a vision.

I don't know what my calling is, but I want to be here for a bigger reason. I strive to be like the greatest people who have ever lived.
