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

You have to love what you do to want to do it everyday.

I don't want to abandon one work for the other, and I don't think I need to sacrifice anything to put my all into either one of them.

You know we're in a business where things are just unpredictable. You don't know what's going to happen...we were lucky Blessed, I think is a better way to put it.

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.

It's fun to be creative and innovative and come up with something crazy. So I need people to work with who are not going to be afraid to take it to the left a bit.

It's Friday and I'm ready to swing. Pick up my girls and hit the party scene.
