I grew up with all mothers, all women. I come from a long line of matriarchs, very strong women.

I'm free. I just do what I want, say what I want, say how I feel, and I don't try to hurt nobody. I just try to make sure that I don't compromise my art in any kind of way, and I think people respect that.

We lock ourselves into our own philosophies, our own religions, our own walks of life, and if we fail, we condemn ourselves and then we get sick.

I just keep going. When the water's too still, I start splashing around and things jump out of the water.

I trust the political system to be what it is. It's a structure to keep the country running, a boat to get us [citizens] from one side to the other, and it has the country's best interests at heart. Not the people's.

I'm a recovering undercover over-lover.

I love being an entertainer - not really fond of being a celebrity.
