I love watching Rihanna in fashion. I like to see her take chances and risks. I like seeing Naomi Campbell in the forefront. They're both women who stand out and use their bodies as canvases to introduce this functional art to the world. They carry it in a way that is very inspiring.

I'm just being who I am and expressing myself as everyone else does.

Through [my children] patience, they're showing me how much they support what's going on, because I'm having to do a lot of work right now.

So the most natural thing to me is to stay as pure to or real to or close to who I am as possible.

During childbirth and hospice I'll sing gospel songs that my grandma taught me when I was younger, or something I've made up, or I'll hum. I just play things that I think the audience will like.

I believed in myself, and I've always worked very, very hard as an artist, and I am an artist in every sense of the word.
