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.

Theres nothing more depressing than having everything and still feeling sad. We must learn to water our spiritual garden.

The greatest achievement to any human being is to love God, yourself, and others.

I've talked about sex a great deal in my music for a great while now. I feel very comfortable with it.

I've never been one for keeping a journal, so my songs were my journals. They allowed me to express my feelings and let people know what was going on with me. I knew that somebody would relate.

Food has always brought me comfort and the bingeing is triggered when I'm in a space that is not positive.

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