I define a diva as a woman who possesses courage, beauty, style, and confidence. Based on that definitions, I've probably got a bit more work to do.

I didn't realize that everyone was so attracted to my hair. I thought, well what about my music?

In order to succeed, you can't be afraid to fail. Just do it and don't let anybody tell you you can't.

The only album that I listen to upon recording a new one is my 'Cry' album, because sonically, I think it's my best album to date. But other than that, I've never listened to my records, ever.

A little bit of stage fright, then I'm ready.

I don't want to sound like a Hallmark card, but to be able to wake up each day with food and shelter, that alone is good. Forget aging and the fact that my butt is becoming a little more familiar with my knees than my tailbone. If you are six feet above ground it's a good day. So, give me more!

I'm a home girl. I like to stay home
