I wanted to be different and original but still have it be something my fans could get into. There also are some big, beautiful ballads. I told my producers that I wanted tracks that are going to blow up in the clubs, but I also wanted songs that were very melodic and with a lot of instrumentation.

Because I came out as a singer, I took the time to get an acting coach.

Sensual is being in tune with your sensual self.

I want people to remember me as a full on entertainer and a good person.

Whatever will be, will be.

I think it's important to take a break, you know, from the public eye for a while, and give people a chance to miss you. I want longevity. I don't want to get out there and run myself ragged and spread myself thin.

I'm a survivor and I can handle anything. I'm very confident about that.
