So like what I want to do is connect all of my albums and make it tell a bigger kind of story. So the first album is very focused on her family life and her love life.

A lot of people say if you can't love yourself, then you can't love others. It's always different, but I definitely have loved a lot in my life.

I definitely have worked trying to create music that inspires girls to feel confident and strong, and feel like they can do anything.

I've had so many insecurities, and am still getting over a lot.

There are a lot of people who go their whole lives without truly knowing what love is, or ever experiencing that.

I definitely fall in love quickly, and I'm very in love with being in love. But it is hard for me to write about love.

I'll always definitely strive to write songs that are going to help people feel confident in themselves.

I never had a lot of friends growing up so having this insane amount of love and support really means a lot to me.

Just because I'm an artist doesn't mean I should be treated differently.

I see things that nobody else sees

I was always hard on myself for taking things too personally.

Validate my existence with your words and I will speak to you all the day long.

The Lord is my rock, shield and great defender.

You have to keep pushing toward those dreams no matter what setbacks happen.

When you become a parent, it's not all about you anymore.

For lawful power is still superior found, When long driven back, at length it stands the ground.

I'm not comfortable being preachy, but more people need to start spending as much time in the library as they do on the basketball court.

When I said I no longer wanted to be a painter, that I wanted to be an actor, the first thing I did was get a stinking job in an insurance building.

Fear is the most subtle and destructive of all human diseases.

Satan like a fisher, baits his hook according to the appetite of the fish.

Turkey is using the Islamic State in the same way as Pakistan used the Taliban in Afghanistan. You know, that's perhaps Turkey's strategy.
