My mother always taught me to be strong and to never be a victim. Never make excuses. Never expect anyone else to provide for me things I know I can provide for myself.

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 used to want you so bad, I'm so through with that because honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had!

If you work hard, whatever you want, it will come to you. I know that's easier said than done, but keep trying.

But I don't know what guys I like because I haven't been out with enough to know. I'm still learning.

My fans kept asking where they could get clothes like Destiny's Child's, so it was only natural for us to do a clothing line.

You can't appreciate the good times without the bad ones.
