I'm the interpreter. I'm the one who takes your words and brings them to life. I was trained to sing and dance and laugh, and that's what I want to do.

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.

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

It's hard to say what I want my legacy to be when I'm long gone.

It's been so long and I'm lost without you, what am I gonna do? I been needin' you, wantin' you, wonderin' if you're the same and who's been with you. Is your heart still mine? I wanna cry sometimes ... I miss you.

If you want to go to the mall, you have to take security. But it's always cool. The kids are amazing.

My parents just tell me, ‘If you know what you want, you should stay determined and go for it. You can do anything.’
