"I see what other people do and what songwriters don't. They don't get out and take care of themselves. Producers turn themselves into a massive brand. Songwriters tend to be under someone else's umbrella. If you're building your own legacy, it can't be under an umbrella."
"I'm young. You can't just sit there and be satisfied."
"I had so many beliefs against being a singer or what it takes. There was a lot of pain associated with that. The rejection of it all. I lived in a rejection state of mind. Not because of my voice; the mike never rejected me. It was harboring all those bad memories of being broke. It teaches you your worth. Nothing good comes from that."
"I don't really start writing until later in the night. I'm a night owl."
"Acting becomes my real job, writing becomes my second job, and then when I turn 50, I think I'm going to open up an interior decorating company."
