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

Just staying true to yourself and staying true to your passion. Following your gut.

In my life right now, in my music, and just overall I feel like I'm winning. It doesn't matter what this person is saying or what the charts are saying or what award shows are saying, the public opinion doesn't matter. I feel like I'm winning in my spirit.

When you don't know your values or who you are or you start to believe things other people are telling you, you get lost. I was just lost because I didn't know what I meant to music or what music meant to me. Now I just belong solo and I belong by myself.

My daughter hasn't seen me with anybody in five years. I'm very, very selective when it comes to that because I want to make sure that it's real. I don't want her to see me with just anybody because she means everything to me.

'America's Got Talent' has really opened a lot of doors for me. I want to do a lot more TV.

I think the Grammy is like the award, you know.
