God has a plan and God is in control of everything

I remember being in Japan when Destiny's Child put out 'Independent Women,' and women there were saying how proud they were to have their own jobs, their own independent thinking, their own goals. It made me feel so good, and I realized that one of my responsibilities was to inspire women in a deeper way.

If you work hard, whatever you want, it will come to you. I know that's easier said than done, but keep trying.

When you really don't like a guy, they're all over you, and as soon as you act like you like them, they're no longer interested.

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

I lost most of my weight from breastfeeding and I encourage women to do it; It's just so good for the baby and good for yourself.

I don't really have any different cravings from the ones that I had before. I've always liked food that is not good for you, and I still do. But I think I've been really good with eating healthy. I think probably the biggest thing is french fries, but that's nothing new. Right now, I'm trying to force myself to drink water with lemon. Bo-ring.
