Don't Let Your Life Pass You By,

I Was Raised With A Mother Who Told Me That I Wouldn't Succeed, That I Wasn't Good Enough. Even At The Pinnacle Of My Success, She'd Come To A Show, And There'd Be, Like, 10,000 People Screaming. And She'd Say, "i Just Don't Get It." I Think She Had So Little Faith In Herself And Her Abilities As A Parent That She Couldn't Imagine Any Offspring Of Hers Could Do So Well. And All That Did Was Drive Me To Push Back. If Someone Says, "you Can't Do This," I'm Like, "f-ck You! Oh, Yes I Can, And I Will."

Music Gave Me A Sense That I Was Worthwhile And That I Had Something Of Value To Offer The World Even Though Everybody Was Telling Me That I Didnt.

People's Ignorance Really Pisses Me Off. Stupidity Is When You Can't Help It -ignorance Is When You Choose Not To Understand Something.

I'm So Afraid To Love You, But More Afraid To Lose. Clinging To A Past That Doesn't Let Me Chose.

It's An Amazing Luxury To Say I'm 31 Years Old And I'm Gonna Take A Year Off. That's Pretty Amazing.
