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 think the Grammy is like the award, you know.

I'm my biggest inspiration. And I say this in the most humble way. I've been through so much, just in my life.

When I was a little girl, I remember carrying my orange UNICEF carton with me as I went Trick-or-Treating.

It'd be negligent to say that I don't want to be at the top of the charts. Of course I do, it's proof that your song is being heard. But I think it's more about the work for me and being proud of what I'm doing in music than what people think about my music. I want to like my music before you like it. I don't want to sell anything that I don't really like. I don't want to sell myself short just to get to the top of the charts. It doesn't feel that great. Feeling proud of your work feels greater than being at the top of the charts.

Even though designing your own show, that's great, I am nothing without the support around me.

I went through a struggle, and I really needed to get myself together and connect with my purpose, which is music.
