Don’t get high off praises, and don’t get too low on critiques.

I don't do a lot of collaborations that I don't believe in. Actually, I don't do any collaborations that I don't believe in.

I think if people genuinely want to help ... that'll shine through, no matter what color or what race. We cannot see race before compassion.

Children go with whatever makes them feel good - like if that's the color green or orange, they do that with their clothes. As I've grown older, everything reversed. My music, my personality - onstage those things became my colors.

I know what I like; if you go to my closet, I have at least four of everything.

I don’t even know at what age I started, because it’s always been there. Performing … creating … it’s in my DNA.

I won't sit here and say I've never had a pimple, but I try to have a really great diet, you know, lots of vegetables and fish. And I think stress plays a huge part too.
