God has a plan and God is in control of everything

Perfection is a disease of a nation.

It is so liberating to really know what I want, what truly makes me happy, what I will not tolerate. I have learned that it is no one else's job to take care of me but me.

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.

I'm always thinking about women, and what we need to hear. It's difficult being a woman. It's so much pressure, and we need that support sometimes and we need that escape sometimes.

I wanted to sell a million records, and I sold a million records. I wanted to go platinum; I went platinum. I've been working nonstop since I was 15. I don't even know how to chill out.

I get nervous when I don't get nervous. If I'm nervous I know I'm going to have a good show.
