Love me like you’ll never see me again.
I always want to stay focused on who I am, even as I’m discovering who I am.
Risk the fall to know how it feels to fly.
Sometimes you need to start again, in order to fly.
Be driven, be focused, but enjoy every moment, because it only happens once.
Create the world you want, and fill it with the opportunities that matter to you.
You’re at your most purest, most innocent, pure state when you’re doing something you’ve never done before. You’re scared a little, you’re a little vulnerable, you’re kind of trying, and then you’re also better, because you’re trying harder than you maybe would try.
I feel more like I’m a person who has so much to offer in different capacities that it would be a danger for me not to give myself a chance to spread my wings in all different directions.
When I was a kid, I’d practise Chopin on piano – and I love Chopin! He’s my dawg! Then I’d go out on the stoop and blast the radio. I’m from New York, the concrete jungle. Hip-hop influenced me from day one.
I’m not ashamed of what I am and that I have curves and that I’m thick. I like my body.
But when I first fell in love with the piano, I knew it was me. I was dying to play.
Fear is not a part of my vocabulary, actually, and I think that it’s really made me a much smarter, braver for sure, person.
