A female piano player is always pretty cool to me.

I'm going to go out on tour when I feel like going on tour.

People are mean and hateful, angry - haters everywhere, stupid blogs.

I used to be so afraid to say what I really think.

I like Bloomingdales, and I like a store called Scoop.

I'm an advocate of music in schools. It's important to me that music is in as many schools as possible across this country and across the world. I think that it's a lost art form because kids aren't as exposed to it as maybe they used to be, or should be. I was exposed heavily to jazz and that's why I love it.

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.

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.

Truth is, I cut my hair for freedom, not for beauty.

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.

My shaven head is my way of saying 'I wont take no for an answer,' it is my way of saying 'I believe in my creativity and artistry.'
