Well, I've had a lot of different experiences in music over the years. And not everything you do can satisfy everybody's idealised version of you.

My music is a very personal reflection of me, whereas, acting a role, that's a reflection of another character.

You have to be a strong person to be in music, especially.

Once you've changed who you are or who you've portrayed in your music, the fans, they'll catch it... Once I feel like the world knows me for anything else but my music, then I feel like I failed.

You have to be who you are when you do music.

If you have music that sounds like what you cover, people won't be able to differentiate who you are.

You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works.

I think some people just have an innate musical ability, and I'm lucky enough to be one of those people.

I find that, maybe because I'm also a singer, I hear music in characters all the time, even if they don't sing. I hear what affects me in my heart.

When it's open and honest, that's when the real nature of who you are as a vocalist or as a performer, all of that stuff can finally start to become what it's supposed to be. Like a settling into yourself. It's not even a musical thing, it's a whole mindset, a whole acceptance of who you were supposed to be. Life sounds good.
