Being a parent is very important to me.

Most people are so hard to please that if they met God, they'd probably say yes, she's great, but.

I really think I want to live in a lot of places.I don't want possessions to hold me down.

It's easier for me to sit with the producers and the writers and I give them my feelings and my thoughts and what I think I feel like singing about and then they go away and write it.

I was brought up in this part of Detroit that they used to call the ghetto.

I don't like to have too many makeup artists around, so I always like to do my own.

You know, you do need mentors, but in the end, you really just need to believe in yourself.
