I think being really connected to a higher power, of having a spirituality to me, has been really good for me and I pray all the time.

I've been able to find a lot of what I've not had before: freedom, bravery, fearlessness. It's empowering to find those things.

I've stepped more into my womanhood, I'm a mother now, I'm having a beautiful relationship as a wife and as a friend.

I think there's an energy about just remaining excited. Like, you can't be excited when you're not doing something new.

The last thing I want is to walk into my house after a long day and see all the Grammys and awards. It would make me feel weird.

We're all going to change. Otherwise, it's boring. Who wants to stay the damn same all their life?

I do feel like I owe something, but not to the industry. When you say "industry," I think of a group of people who don't really care much about you and treat you as a commodity. So, in that regard, I don't feel like I owe anything. But the people who've always been supportive of me and have always seen me for my greatest potential-those are the people who I feel like I owe something to. I feel like I am their voice. I owe it them to represent them in a way that they can be proud of.
