Power means happiness; power means hard work and sacrifice.

There's my personal life, my sensitive side, and then me as a performer, sexy and energised and fun.

I'm just free. And I can express my sensuality. I can express my pain, vulnerability, my strength. All of those things. Because I had a sheltered upbringing doesn't mean I haven't been a woman. I'm a woman that has had life experiences.

I need to find a catchy new word for feminism, right? Like 'bootylicious.'

My message behind this album was finding the beauty in imperfection.

My focus is my art, and that's what I love to do. I have to be really passionate in order to do something. I've turned down many things that I just didn't believe in.

Tina Turner is someone that I admire, because she made her strength feminine and sexy. Marilyn Monroe, because she was a curvy woman. I'm drawn to things that have the same kind of silhouettes as what she wore because our bodies are similar.
