I was rapping as a hobby. It was something I did for my friends and just played around on ideas and stuff like that.
Brandy NorwoodStay true to yourself because it goes a long way. If you don't know who you are, who are you really?
Brandy NorwoodI'm going to let people know that it's cool to have a child and be young and still be a good mom. It's really tough, but I'm doing it.
Brandy NorwoodThe '90s period I just miss because it was such a great time and the music was just so electric. Everybody just had to bring their A-game back then because everybody that was, you know, a big influence...they were on the charts. I bring that era with me everywhere I go. I care about every word I sing. I care about every move I make on stage. I care about the fans. I bring that with me to the present time. And then, when you're timeless, you can work in any time.
Brandy NorwoodI've figured out the secret. Your mind is your power; you have to work with your mind and work with your own thoughts about your own life. If you spend so much time thinking, "This industry is male-dominated. It's sexist. It's this. It's that," then that's what the picture will always be. I remember when I was coming up, I didn't have those thoughts. My mom told me I could be whatever I wanted to be and I could be as bright of a star as I was meant to be. So, that's where I put all of my focus and my thought...into what I could do. And I carry that with me now.
