My brothers were gone on tour a lot, and I would miss them so much.

Every body type is different - that's what makes you unique. What makes you special is you, and you are different from the next person.

You can tell someone who doesn't have love in their life, then someone who is in love.

I can express gratitude for the simple act of being able to breathe in and breathe out. I can move away from darkness and depression to light and hope. I can be happy with who I am, not what I should be, or what I might have been, or what someone tells me I must be. I am me, the true me; you are you, the true you - and that's good. That's beautiful. That's enough.

You don't know how many people come up to me and say, 'This child was conceived listening to you.'

I'm shy, although I'm not shy with my friends and family.

I have met Mariah before and she's really cool and so funny. Everyone has been given the wrong impression of her, and maybe it is her doing. But you have to remember that celebrities are always in the spotlight and are sometimes forced to conduct themselves in a different way than they normally do. That's how it is in the business. I have met artists who are real divas, but Mariah Carey is not one of them. She is a very sweet person, and what nobody sees off camera is the real person she is on the inside.
