I've been around long enough for people to know who I am and what my contributions are. They know me as more than just an artist. I think they know me as a woman as well.

I sing to the realists; people who accept it like it is.

My faith always has been and always will be important to me.

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.

Yes, I've always been fashion conscious.

I like Beyonce's music - some of it, not all of it.

The man who gets me is getting one hell of a woman.
