You have to be strong. You have to know how you are, and you have to know who your partner is and you have to know who your friends, who your real friends are.

I've learned to be more accepting of myself. I'm 37, not 18, and I've got the lines to prove it. I try to remind myself that a girl can have it all, just not all at once.

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.

You'd be surprised how addicting high self-esteem is.

I don't want to have a song like 'My Humps' and it be sagging down, so I pay attention to that area. A lot.

I'm going through an evolution. I'm completely cleaning out my closet. I'm purging, because I saw that show 'Hoarders.' I had a sweatshirt from sixth grade, and I'm going, 'Why do I hold on to this?'

For me, I'm not a jealous person. That's just not my thing. You have to have trust in your relationship.
