"The best thing about getting older [is] learning how powerful human connections can be…It’s great when two people can share something deeper than just lust and passion between them – something real and lasting."

"You have to stay patient and stick with whatever is best for you…If it doesn’t work out, don’t beat yourself up about it – just keep going until you find the right one."

"And I always want my product to be what's in my heart, so I'm writing and in the sessions. It sounds like me because I'm there."

"Back in the day, the music industry was my God"
