When you're in a relationship you want it to work. My parents did, I did. But we are not taught how to make it work.

I don't have one song that sounds like another one in my entire catalog.

The light always shows on the outside if you are striving to be good on the inside.

I've had two children. I've had three boyfriends. I've had a lot of things happen that can change your opinions and values and philosophies.

What I work hard at doing is staying on a path of being kind and showing and proving that I'm a good person to society. That's hard. The talent, that's a gift. I just came here like that.

I'm pretty mutable as a human being, period - if you put me on Pluto, I can figure it out.

I don't feel like I need to preach to the world or nothing like that. I just feel like I share what I say, and if listeners get it, they get it. And I never underestimate the audience's ability to feel me.
