I am ashamed of my nation.
I just have to give credit when it's due because there are some things that took place in my life that I couldn't explain at all.
The beauty of Broadway is that if I'm 60 or 70 years old, if they'll accept me back, I can go back. So I think for right now I'm going to focus on the music--it's the new baby--and see how it's going to work out, and then maybe in a few years maybe I'll go back.
When I was growing up, I grew up in church--my father was a pastor--so when I was growing up in Trinidad, I'd close all the windows in the church and go in the church every day after school and get a little microphone and pretend all these people were in the pews, and I would sing to them.
Some of the songs have a tinge more pop this time. I wanted to go into different worlds.
I just want to create amazing music that speaks and defines who I am. I want it to be based on my life andor what I am going through at that specific time.
I am able to stay humble because I recognize that God has truly blessed me; I can't say that enough. I also understand without Him, all of this wouldn't be possible.
Yet I'm making a book and I'm going to care immensely about what words get bound in the pages, and I want the object to look good. I won't believe in it and it won't be real to me until there's a finished book I can hold.
You don't begin to live, until you've lost everything.
Orange is the happiest color.
My style was impetuous, my defenses were impregnable, and I was ferocious.
