People are mean and hateful, angry - haters everywhere, stupid blogs.
My hair and I had a really bad argument. She was being sprayed with alcohol and burnt with irons. She was being over processed and yanked and pulled by weave strings and suffocated by glue. She told me if I didn't straighten up and fly right that she was leaving.
My ears sort of turn off when someone tells me that what my heart is saying isn't a good idea.
A female piano player is always pretty cool to me.
I have epiphanies all the time, because I'm always thinking. I'm a thinker. I'm always writing poetry, I'm always coming to conclusions.
I like trendy clothes just like everybody else does.
I'm going to go out on tour when I feel like going on tour.
When I was in school I used to prank my teachers all the time. But I was really, really nice. I love to make people laugh. And even in those pranks, the teachers would laugh most of the time.
I like Bloomingdales, and I like a store called Scoop.
Truth is, I cut my hair for freedom, not for beauty.
Lately though I've been in love with myself and I've become my own best friend.
I think everything that happens in life we're prepared for in ways we really don't really know.
Being scared is normal. My technique for erasing it is facing it. Be afraid and brave. Be nervous and courageous. The first few minutes of being scared is your test to see if you're really serious about reaching a goal. Push through anxiety and come out victorious. Fear is just a test. Honor the feeling. Know it's there. Know it's temporary. Face it to erase it.
The truth is an artist like me who doesn't get the type of promotion that we see more commercial artists receive, and especially in this climate of the music business, you have to be creative about how you promote yourself.
