I would like to release an album that I truly believe in, thus it is hard to put a time limit on it. I want to really go deeper and discover myself again through music.

The amount of time I spent on facing my negative conscious has been most of my struggle and changing my mind-set has been the biggest change in my life not my weight.

There is an energy in New York that is like nowhere else I've been, and I feel free there, and that is inspiring.

Being able to meet fans who look up to me and letting me know they have been inspired by me in some way is so humbling.

We are so hard on ourselves, it is unbelievable sometimes. The things we say to ourselves or think about when we look in the mirror are so cruel. We have to look at the power we do have and use it to overcome that voice of insecurity.

I can be capable of anything if I allow myself to be. I really realized what an obstacle I was being in my own life.

Meeting Justin Bieber was interesting. We were backstage at The Voice, and he was there premiering his "Boyfriend" music video. I was in six-inch heels, so I was towering over him like a giant.
