My lips are big, but my talent is bigger.

I feel like a good mom. I'm a strong woman now... Don't look down on me. Pray for me because I'm trying.

When I'm out on the stage, it gives me this rush and anything that's on my mind and everything I'm going through is forgotten about.

I think my purpose was just to get out and sing. I love to sing. I wasn't even in it for the - you know, the prize. I was, like, 'Hey, man, I'm going to sing.

I guarantee that if you talk to some of the young ladies that are out on the street selling their bodies -if you sit them down and really talk to them - they'll tell you that they've been abused, physically and mentally. They go through this stage where they don't care, because you don't feel like you're worth anything.

I always say you've only got one life to live, and you're not promised a tomorrow. So, you might as well just have a good time with it.

Sometimes you have to lose to win again.
