There's a lot of people out there who go through hard times, and they feel alone. They feel like nobody is there. But I'm in the same boat.

I definitely felt like I needed a break, because when you do so much, you're not able to appreciate the things that you accomplish.

Your children can be around you all day, but if you don't spend quality time with them and you don't pay attention to them and talk to them and listen to them, it doesn't matter that they're just around you.

I would love to play a main character and then play different characters as well. I would want for it to be a sitcom, multicamera, audience - that's definitely a dream. It's in the works, so... it's closer than everybody thinks it is.

I'm not an R&B singer, I'm a singer. I can sing any music that makes me feel inspired whether it's Country, a little bit of Rock and roll but within my roots as well. I'm not going too far with it, but it'll be within my roots. I feel like trying a different way to express my music because so many people have already taken from what I've done in the past and it kind of makes me not want to ever do anything that I've done before.

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.

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