I will not have my son grow up in a tension-filled home.

I'm not being like, 'Hey, everybody, I'm pregnant!' I'm not that girl.

I was brought up in a household of chaos and I never felt stable at home. At a really young age, I decided I was never going to feel helpless, I was never going to feel weak around a man, and I was never going to rely on anyone. Independence was a big, big thing for me.

I knew there would be a negative reaction in the press to my divorce, but I am not going to live my life because of something someone might say.

I'm a hard worker and I really give to my fans through my shows.

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

I wanna say thank you cause: Makes me that much stronger, makes me work a little bit harder. makes me that much wiser. so thanks for making me a fighter!
