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

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

I have six-year-old fans that weren't even around for 'Genie in a Bottle' or even 'Fighter.'

I am Ecuadorian but people felt so safe passing me off as a skinny, blue-eyed white girl.

The most successful people I've worked with, like the Rolling Stones - people of a different, kind of legendary caliber - have such great, warm energy.

It's impossible to redefine yourself and your life overnight.

Red lips and fragrance always top off an outfit for me.
