I don't have time to stand around and listen to an 11-minute song.

I have two favorite colors - white and yellow. White makes me feel light and airy. Yellow makes me happy.

I'm not intimidated by how people perceive me.

I've struggled enough in my life to be appreciated and understood. I've had to go against all kinds of people through the years just to be myself. I think everybody should be allowed to be who they are, and to love who they love. I don't think we should be judgmental. Lord, I've got enough problems of my own to pass judgment on somebody else.

God made me the way that I am and it’s my business to be true to that.

I think [music and acting], they are connected, all that stuff. It's your emotional self, is pretty much how you do it, I think, from whatever place you do it, whether you're acting or you're singing.

Any business you go into, you have to think about how much money you are willing to put into it, and how much you are not.
