It's important for someone who's dealt with violence to be able to talk to someone, no matter who it is. So I'm vocal about how I feel. That's how I've worked through a lot of my problems.

I love color - I'm not a beige kind of girl

I've always been really good with my heels. Even pregnant, I could perform in heels.

I'm content with life, and I'm finally at that place where I feel relaxed and can really enjoy what's going on around me.

I got along better with the guys than with the girls. Only two girls came up to talk to me. Later I found out they were telling their boyfriends, 'If you talk to her, I'll kill you.' It's always rough with that high school thing.

I'm very eclectic in what I like and what I listen to. But my favorite musical ever is "The Sound of Music." That was actually one that inspired me to sing.

My mom brought me up to believe that my talent is a gift and a blessing.
