Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world. Risk being seen in all of your glory.
It's nice to be able to let the fans know that you're around and say 'Hi.'
There’s nothing more daring than showing up, putting ourselves out there and letting ourselves be seen.
It is important that you're out, and it is important that you're visible.
I noticed, when I taught elementary school, how true the squeaky wheel thing is, and how endearing squeaky wheels can be! Because when you're being a squeaky wheel, you're also really letting people know who you are.
I am a very private person, but when you get recognized, it's an opportunity to make somebody's day.
I just never wanted to be too much in the background. I always wanted to be a part of things.
I'm out and around all the time.
You have to make bold choices to be noticed.

There are so many amazing out, gay, black artists who are really great in their own fields, but they aren't necessarily trying to make pop music. I guess my thing is different because I am trying to be part of that world. But doing it my way.
I don't want to be a bit-part player, I want to be right in the mix with everybody else.
Well, it is certainly not by choice at this time you don't see or hear about me. This business is very unpredictable. A lot of it is luck and being in the right place at the right time.
