“A wealth of experience and wisdom doesn't have to be a dead giveaway to your increasing years. The spin you put on it is what will keep you young. Don't let it make you bitter. Learn from it, and let it make you better.”

“Let your past make you better, not bitter.”

“Crying doesn't make you weak. There's sixteen years of tears in that body of yours, and you have to let some of it go.”

“When you write from your gut and let the stuff stay flawed and don't let anybody tell you to make it better, it can end up looking like nothing else.”

“When you go through tragedy, you can either let that destroy you and you become bitter and never let it go, or you can let it make you stronger and let it make you grow. And that's what I did. My lyrics are coming from a place that I want people to relate to and feel that they're not alone.”

“Life is a canvas. Don't let others create it for you, you have to create it the way you want it to be, and I'd you mess up make it something beautiful and learn from it.”
