I was determined to carve out a music of my own. I didn't want to copy anybody.

I'm my own person, and am trying to carve out a career on my own.

I want to be my own person.

I just know that it's smart for my career to carve my own path and do my own thing.

I just want to be on my own branch twittering.

I want to be judged on my own merits.
