Who I am on stage is very, very different to who I am in real life.

I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt because I've given birth. I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth. The best thing about having a daughter is having a true legacy. The word love means something completely different now.

For me, it's about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me, is something deeply personal. It's where I came from, my family, I was brought up in a religious household and that's very important to me.

One of the things that kept me out of trouble was doing something creative - creativity can't be judged.

I can not imagine my life if I didn't have a music program in my school.

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

I know I'm stronger in the songs than I really am. Sometimes I need to hear it myself. We all need to hear those empowering songs to remind us.
