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

I don't think I could ever really be with a woman because that's a lot of... Yeah, there's a lot of estrogen and I'm a lot to deal with when it's that time of the month, so I can't imagine it times two.

I try to stay focused on my creativity.

There was no way in hell I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show.

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

My first love was singing and I had no time for boys.

I talk openly about my past and what I've gone through - abuse being something that was very real in my household, and a lot of chaos growing up as a child. I think that I naturally just gravitated towards music that I could really feel on a deep level - and that meant sadness. I was able to connect with that at a really young age.
