Quotes

  • The way you have ups is the same way you have downs,It's balanced. It's life. It's what makes life sweet. You enjoy and appreciate the good times, and you also appreciate the bad times too because it ushers in the good times and it teaches you how to appreciate [them].
  • I believe education is key to fostering independence, and allowing individuals to make their own decisions and thrive without external constraints … enabling them to contribute positively to society and reach their full potential.
  • People say they want your art, but they don’t want the artist to express themselves in truth.
  • It’s your own world, create whatever you like. With melodies, with instruments and with words. It’s just fun.
  • I would say to an artist, don’t go independent if you are not ready. You have to be ready and you have to want to work and know why you are doing it because there’ll be a lot of nights where you are just tired. You have to have a why.
  • It taught me that the waiting period is just preparation for something better. When something isn;t going as you planned, just relax, maybe the universe is preparing you to see another side, maybe it wants to teach you something.
