Grey: "One of my biggest problems is I get bored too easily, and I like to experiment too much, to the point where I confuse myself and I confuse my fans."

Grey: "I think one of the reasons I've had success in hip-hop is that I can bring out vulnerability in people who are generally seen as tough guys. To me, when a hip-hop musician always plays tough, I find it annoying because I know they're not really like that - there's something deeper and vulnerable. There has to be, because they're human beings."

Grey: "Honestly, I don't recommend anyone get into music. If you have something else that you're good at, do that instead."

Grey: "Anytime someone basically commissions a piece, I write a song based on something personal to them. I go online and I do research on that person - Wikipedia, YouTube interviews, anywhere I can find a piece of information that kind of tugs at your heart a little bit."

Grey: "The best thing that can happen is that a song you've written will live in the world so people can hear it."

Grey: "When I was young, my voice was so strong, and I would annoy people because I had such a loud little voice. And then it changed, and I thought I wouldn't be able to sing again, because I thought you had to sing like Christina Aguilera to be a singer."

Grey: "I discovered that my insecurities and my flaws were things that I actually need to embrace, and I let them become my superpowers."

Grey: "Your personal life, your professional life, and your creative life are all intertwined. I went through a few very difficult years where I felt like a failure. But it was actually really important for me to go through that. Struggle, for me, is the most inspirational thing in the world at the end of the day - as long as you treat it that way."

Grey: "I'm a shy person, so I get really nervous going into interviews."

Grey: "I've always been jealous of rappers, because they can fit so many words into a song and tell a story with lots of details. But when you're a songwriter, you have to fit the words to the melody and you can't fit as much in. I'm just a big fan of storytelling."

Grey: "I'm not a big fan of trying to be a sex symbol or any of that stuff because I really like the music to speak for itself."
