I think everything that played a part in my life growing up is in my music. Being homeless, living in shelters, dealing with over-aged, older men that hit on me... all that is in the music.

Whatever I write is coming out of me naturally. There's nothing to prove. Everything has been proven already.

I entertain more than just sayin', 'oh that's a female rapper,' or 'oh, that's a rapper,' period.' But, me, I put out music, and when I put it out, I also entertain on Twitter. I entertain on stage. I entertain talking to people.

I want everything that I've worked for to go into my pocket. I want all my money to come to me. I'm very much hands-on with my career, and I like to do what I want in the studio - I don't like being told, 'do it this way' or 'do it that way.'

I have to look for my happiness, and that is being out on the pitch, playing well, and scoring goals. That makes me happy.

True contentment comes with empathy.

Happiness is determined by factors like your health, your family relationships and friendships, and above all by feeling that you are in control of how you spend your time.

I've gotta be the only father begging his son to leave a six-figure job to go play in a rock n' roll band!
