I want to continue to produce film, television, and theater, and to make the most amazing music that I've made in my life.

Quiet moments recharge me.

I grew up in a pretty tough neighborhood. I grew up around drugs, alcohol, prostitution, I grew up around everything, and I think part of seeing that from really young has made me really steer very far away from it in all of its forms.

Soul music is timeless.

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'm having an unbelievable time on the road. I am taking the time to explore each new city in a way I never have before.

I don't think even when you find a person, you can be completely honest, ever. There's still pieces of you that you don't give away. I do believe you always need that place where it's just you, your thoughts, no one else's judgment or anything.
