I've already got notebooks full of ideas for new music, so I'm gonna kind of nurture that just like I do all of my ideas and perfect it until it's ready and then I'll just let it go.

I think everything happens for a reason and all of my choices have led me up to my solo album and made me stronger, not only as an artist but as a person. I want to do more the Black Eyed Peas albums and more of my own albums. I'm in this for the long run.

The right pair of shoes can change the feel of an outfit, and even change how a woman feels about herself

My solo album is different from the Black Eyed Peas albums because I'm a singer first and foremost. There are more ballads and more intimacy between me and the listener because sometimes when you're in a group you don't have space to air out your dirty laundry.

I've dated many different types. I was all over the map. For me, it was learning about being attracted to the right things in a person, not the wrong things.

So many songs are just a wink to the audience, but people take them seriously. 'My Humps?' C'mon!

I have learned more and more to enjoy my body when I have a few extra pounds on, just being more voluptuous.
