I have a massage when I want to relax. I love being pampered. I love island massages when you're outside in the fresh air.

A lot of people don't know what I do. In the industry they take credit for work because to some degree it makes them feel worthy or greater. I am not a ghostwriter 'cause it is on the CD covers who wrote and did what but people don't care about anything they can't see. The work gets unnoticed and the credibility goes untouched.

I can be strong for everybody except myself. I can tell somebody, 'Hey, keep it together', but I can't take my own advice.

Coming through the fire and through the storm of life with a strong man, my fiance Ashanti, whom I've been dating for eight months and two wonderful children beside me, I'm just so happy that I have been able to maintain my integrity and get to where I am today with the right energy around me.

Allowing myself to love God completely has obviously shed light on my self-love because he loves me more than I could ever love myself.

I owe it to my fans to be who I am. There's nothing fake about me.

I'm the type of woman you might say is too good. I'll massage a man's feet, have dinner cooked when he gets home. But once they leave, the door is closed, and the locks are changed.
