I'm not one that just throws music out there to keep it coming, and all that. I believe in the craft, and the time it takes to really nurture something and put a lot of effort into the details.

In order to effect great change, we need to look at how we can help those in our own communities as well as globally.

My elementary school days were miserable. After Star Search, the jealousy got really bad that our neighbors slashed our tires.

I've always been inspired even more by any naysayers to keep going for what I really want and they've almost been my inspiration many times more so than any positive people around me to conquer.

I think it's really great when you stand up for something that you really believe, even if you get heat for it.

At this point of my life, I'm 32 and I feel sexier than ever because you know what you want.

Now everyone is a critic.
