I turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt.

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

I think that the best way you can get honesty across in your music to connect and relate to people is to be motivated by personal emotions, stories and feelings.

I look back at the looks I've had over the years. I'm proud of myself that I had the courage to experiment with crazy hairstyles and some fashion things. Would I do it again? No. But that's part of the learning process and getting from point A to point B.

I think they say that when you're breast feeding, you know, your weight kind of slims down. It's a little easier. It's like a workout within itself. It's very tiring actually and you find yourself snacking more often.

I have those days where I'm PMSing and bloated.

When I learned how millions of children go to bed hungry, my only response was, 'What can I do to help?'
