People don't always want to have females as leaders.

Thankfully, I have my mom and a small group of close friends who are there for me 24/7 and whom I can trust and depend on.

You know what, I'm very interested in acting, but right now I'm busy promoting my album and going on tour because that's my first love, but I'm very interested in doing some parts that may come my way. I've been offered a few movie parts so far, but I have to really concentrate on singing. But it's something I'm interested in doing eventually. I haven't been offered a part that truly inspires me to take time off, though.

I'm not a 9-to-5 woman who has the same kind of lifestyle for years on end. I couldn't do it.

All I want to do is be normal. But really, it's other people who won't let me be that way.

Being a mom changes your life. It actually has made me become more comfortable in my own skin and my own body because it's such a growth and a learning lesson.

When I'm traveling on tour, one of my favorite things to do is to throw a baseball cap on and go to a Target. The company has always been good to me. They've got such a great creative team.
