One day I hope to open a shelter of my own. I think it's really important to share my own story with women who've been abused, because going through that experience has led me to where I am today: It's given me the strength and motivation to be the best that I can be.

I try to stay focused on my creativity.

I've never watched an entire episode of 'American Idol'. It's too mean.

When you're part of a pop phenomenon, you have so many opinions shoved down your throat.

Life is a journey, it can take you anywhere you choose to go

I have a lot of things to say and a lot of things to let out of me.

I'm an artist, and expressing myself in a sexual way, no matter how that changes throughout the years, is something that has always come naturally to me. At this point of my life, I'm 32 and I feel sexier than ever because you know what you want.
