Quotes
Some people might say I need to learn how to relax.
The most interesting place I’ve gone on location was New Orleans.
It was Britney’s movie. I liked that movie. It didn’t get too much love, but a lot of people really liked it.
Through teaching myself how to be happy and get through things, I hope I can also do that for other people.
After reading Eminem’s autobiography, which I did because I’m so interested in him as an artist, I respect him a lot. Even though he seems angry and mad, he’s had to fight so many demons in his life.
I would go visit my mom on Sundays, and my brother was working on stuff. I’d go in there and sing a little melody, then we started working with words and the next thing you know it was just born organically without really trying.
When we saw our plane on TV as breaking news, it was the most surreal experience. A lot of the women were crying. There was a gentleman who was writing in his journal and crying. Seeing that isn’t easy.
