I think creativity becomes really beautiful and magical when you allow it to do what it's needing you to do.

I knew I had to make a sacrifice to do what I've always wanted to do.

Music is infinite and personal. I don't want to put myself in a box. I want to try everything and I'm trying everything. I'm really trying to write what's in my heart and what I feel without a lot of help in that department. It's about being brave.

I needed to explore my talent and versatility and see if I had another side to me, another sound.

When I was 17, my producer Rodney Jerkins was working with Michael Jackson at the time. He knew how much I wanted to meet Michael Jackson, so he says, 'Would you like to come and meet him?' I'm like, 'Are you serious? Of course I want to meet Michael Jackson! Where do I meet you? Where do we come?'

I have so much to talk about. I have so much to share. There are so many different emotions going on inside of me right now.

I just want to continue to do comedy. Comedy, I'm discovering, is my niche. It's what I'm born to do, so I would love to have my own sitcom one day in the future.
