It's all about attitude and feeling good about yourself and not looking like everybody on TV. You do not have to be small; you can have some junk in your trunk.

I mean, I feel like you get more bees with honey. But that doesn't mean I don't get frustrated in my life.

I think I've realized that business and being polite [don't] match. You can be fair, but me being polite was not me being fair to myself.

If I hadn't gone through some of the painful experiences in my life, I would not be me.

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.

I embrace mistakes, they make you who you are.

I think it's healthy for a person to be nervous. It means you care - that you work hard and want to give a great performance. You just have to channel that nervous energy into the show.
