Quotes

“This world is bullshit. And you shouldn't model your life — wait a second — you shouldn't model your life about what you think that we think is cool and what we're wearing and what we're saying and everything. Go with yourself. Go with yourself.”
“My problem was that I felt ashamed of feeling sad or angry. Now, I don't hide my vulnerability in my lyrics. There's no way I was going to get raped and not get something out of it. I learned about power and hope and forgiveness. I like who I am now and I wouldn't be who I am if that hadn't happened.”
“I don't have a big thing about leaving my mark or being historic.”
“I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream;You've got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem.This mind, this body and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways.So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise.”
“Once my lover, now my friend;What a cruel thing to pretend.What a cunning way to condescend;Once my lover, and now my friend.Oh, you creep up like the cloudsAnd you set my soul at ease.Then you let your love abound,And you bring me to my knees.”
“Oh, it's evil babeThe way you let your grace enrapture me,When well you know I'd be insaneTo ever let that dirty game recapture me.You made me a shadowboxer, baby.I wanna be ready for what you do.I been swinging all around me'Cause I don't know when you're gonna make your move.”
