It's an amazing thing to say, 'I'm beautiful,' without feeling like you're cocky.

You’ve got me feeling like you’re that something I’ve been missing.

In school that used to happen a lot: they'd get me to sing and then they'd hate me for it.

I remember watching the Grammys and looking at the performances and crying to my mom, saying how much I wanted to be there.

A lot of people are afraid to face themselves, especially when something goes wrong. But that's important, because if something happens within a relationship, it could be how you're allowing someone else to treat you.

Basically, what I'm saying is there is nothing fake about what I do. I'm up-front, I'm real, I'm honest and I'm open with my feelings.

Being a mom changes your life. It actually has made me become more comfortable in my own skin and my own body because it's such a growth and a learning lesson.
