I felt like God was giving me a chance to assist in a miracle. There is something so relieving about life taking over you like that. You're playing a part in a much bigger show. And that's what life is. It's the greatest show on earth.

I always try to be myself. Ever since I was an introverted kid, I'd get on stage and be able to break out of my shell.

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.

When you're famous, no one looks at you as a human anymore. You become the property of the public.

It is the most powerful creation to have life growing inside of you. There is no bigger gift.

I am really proud that I am one of the artists that has the opportunity to be on magazine covers and to be in the movies.

I can not imagine my life if I didn't have a music program in my school.
