Anyone is welcome to hang out with me and have fun or sit down with me and talk. I don't discriminate against anyone. And I don't condone hating someone or treating them badly because they live differently than I do.

The kind of artist I would like to be is definitely versatile. I don't like being boxed in or put into a genre, so to speak.
