My biggest thing is to teach not to focus on the aesthetic. It's really about who you are, and the human being, that makes you beautiful.

The most alluring thing a woman can have is confidence.

Love is something that never goes out of style. It's something everybody experiences, and if they are not in love, people usually want to feel that.

I'm over being a pop star. I don't wanna be a hot girl. I wanna be iconic.

I went to a high school for the performing arts and I lived and breathed music. It kept me focused; it kept me sane.

We have a lot of work to do, but we can get there if we work together. Women are more than 50 percent of the population and more than 50 percent of voters. We must demand that we all receive 100 percent of the opportunities.

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.
