I'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.

What do I think of myself? I know my worth. I know my value. I know I have to lead by example. I can't just be all over the place. I put the energy out that I want given back to me. And again, I'm true to me.

Whitney Houston is my idol and my mentor and my dream forever, like she will always be my favorite artist, ever, on the planet. Like I don't think I'll ever feel that way about another artist.

I think it's really finding that belief in yourself, where you just have it no matter what's going on, no matter what anyone else says. I think that's the challenge, is to really have that belief in yourself.

When you get a chance to step back, you notice all these great things you've done and all these great people that you've worked with.

I have so much more to go through as a young lady. But oh my God. I feel like I can do anything.

It's easy to just give everything up, but it takes a lot of strength and a lot of willpower to just make yourself stay on it and get up and do something different. And I had to do that.
