I think music is something that can, and should, be used to get you into different things because eventually what goes up must come down -- we're not going to be the Number One group in the world forever -- so you have to have something else to fall back on.

You definitely feed off the people around you, and your man is one of the people you talk to the most. So you kind of help each other and keep each other strong. It's important.

Power is not given to you. You have to take it.

If you've been doing all you can and it's not happening for you, go out and have you a good old time. Put on your sexy dress and move on.

Acting is easier and smoother than singing - it's less drama.

Your self-worth is determined by you. You don't have to depend on someone to tell you who you are.

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.
