You don't know how far you can go until you push it.

Be exactly who you are. You can fit in any space you see yourself in. Be fearless.

You don't need validation from other people. You've gotta find it within yourself and sit in it and roll with it.

Just as much as you need the people who love you, you need the people who doubt you - to prove them wrong.

When I look half naked on stage, it's not because I'm trying to be sexy but because I am dancing and want to be mobile enough to move.

My dad was a teacher. He has a Masters in music. He taught elementary school, and he played gigs his whole life, and we lived good.
