That's why I work every day. Ev-er-y day. I want to knock people out.

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.

Everything is worth it. The hard work, the times when you're tired, the times where you're a bit sad... In the end, it's all worth it because it really makes me happy. There's nothing better than loving what you do.

Sensual is being in tune with your sensual self.

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.’

I see myself as sexy. If you are comfortable with it, it can be very classy and appealing.
