My fans do deserve to see me back out on the road.

The roughest road often leads to the top.

Growing up with the childhood that I had, I learned to never let a man make me feel helpless, and it also embedded a deep need in me to always stick up for women.

It's important to recognize your own self-destructive behavior and be honest about it. You're only hurting yourself or losing out on your truth and happiness. I'm not afraid to face my own personal stuff. It's so important to dig it up and figure it out and move on.

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.

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

Right now I'm pretty single... My career is my boyfriend.
