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

I like guys who are cool and laid-back.Someone who works really hard and has goals but who I can be silly with. Looks are not important to me.

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.

When you're a pop star, it's a little conservative; you always have to stay in a box. You have fans that are five and fans that are 65; there are so many people wanting so many things.

Whenever I'm confused about something, I ask God to reveal the answers to my questions, and he does.

I am a woman and when I think, I must speak.

When I was younger, there were moments where I said, 'I'm not going to have children.' And then moments when I wanted four. And now I definitely want another, but I don't know when.
