“When I was writing this song, I was shining that light around inside, seeing who had been left behind, and I rediscovered some parts of myself that I had long ignored. For me, that discovery had a lot to do with queerness, and finding my way to deep love of that part.” - Raine Hamilton
“After dating the wrong gender you're finally feeling something that feels right to you, things you’ve never felt for another person. At the exact same time you're realizing who you are.

“When I'm giving voice to my vulnerability, that's when the magic arrives. I've been re-learning how to trust my instincts, and so far I'm being shown that they're good.” - Debra-Jean Creelman
“We are strong as humans, even when we are vulnerable. We can be both reflective and confident at the same time.” - Parks N' Rec
