Politics are not my arena. Music is.

People really don't have to give you anything, so appreciate what people give you. And just don't let that go to your head, whatever it is they give you.

I love to sing. It's just a natural thing for me.

Falling out of love is like losing weight. It's a lot easier putting it on than taking it off.

And I've been hurt hurt bad. I might be just twenty-six, but I'm an old woman in disguise twenty-six goin'on sixty-five.

R&B is not a fad; it's the truth.

I'm the lady next door when I'm not on stage.
