"People don’t realize that artists are sensitive or that they have feelings."

"So always fight for yourself and believe in yourself and your vision."

"When I create music, it's not just about the song. I have to visually see something in my head too."

"Because nobody knows your vision better than you do. Nobody can tell your story as you can. You have to live it."

"And it’s okay to say, ‘Hey, I’m not okay today.’ "
