I felt like a dork growing up.

I am also a hard worker and people are sometimes surprised to see that as well.

Love yourself for who you are. You are beautiful inside and out, and nobody can take that away from you.

I did a theatrical musical, Annie Warbucks, when I was 11. We did a tour and we stopped by Los Angeles.

Also, my mom and family are very important to me and I know that this is not expected.

I signed to Def Jam and within two months, I heard that Ja Rule was looking for someone to do a song with.

I've always been heavily engaged with my fans on the internet from day one. That connection's one of the reasons why I've been able to enjoy such longevity in my career.
