I am a joyful conservative, unafraid to articulate big ideas with an optimistic smile.

Generally, when a record label suggests album ideas for you, you smile politely, and then proceed to shoot it down, because it's never what you as an artist feel is right for you.

All riches have their origin in mind. Wealth is in ideas - not money.

I feel like there is always a rumor that I'm dating someone that I never met before. People have their judgments and ideas of who I am, and they know nothing.
