Honestly, I just want to have a good time, listen to great singers and great music, and just use my instincts, as usual.

Power is making a statement about who you are.

I really feel free and not as serious as I have been in the past.

I went through my first big breakup, with a boyfriend who I had been with for more than two years. He had been one of my dancers, and it was my first love and his.

You've got to make a decision: Are you going to go down with the situation, or are you going to focus and succeed? My dream...kept me going.

I have spoken honestly about being born into a home where there was discord and chaos. I saw my mom have a rough time with my dad being very controlling, which is why I push back whenever I feel like someone is trying to box me in. It makes me run for the hills.

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.
