I try to be as honest and open as I am with everything that I do because it's just, um, It helps me, you know, like whether it's stand up or singing or act. I just try to stay true.

Whatever else has been said about me personally is unimportant. When I sing, I believe. I'm honest.

I just sing the stuff that makes me smile, makes me feel like I didn't sell myself out.

Anything I sing is supposed to be genuine. It's not supposed to be make-believe or I'm making something for the crowd to jump or to hold up their hands.

In my music and my life, I'm honest with my feelings, and people appreciate that. That's just the way I am.

With songs, I've always pledged to be honest. I write my songs because I've lived them.

All I can do is focus on staying true to the style of music I write and sing because that is the only way it's going to come off as honest.

Most of all, I like to sing my heart out to lyrics that really speak to people.

There has always been a feeling with people that they love my singing but not always the choice of material.

I just sing what I feel in my heart. I ain't trying to prove nothing, and I don't think I ever did.
