I'm not the type of woman who shows off my body; I'm a vocalist and I'm a writer and I think people see that more so than they see anything else. That's just who I am.

I guess when I got into my preteens, I turned about 12 and I decided to sing R&B, because I felt like one day there were some things I felt like I would want to say, that I couldn't say with gospel music.

Everybody is going to love me and this is not being cocky - this is just what I see.

I think a lot of the way that I try to write my stories come from watching my mom write plays and trying to do that.

As I'm writing it, I'm kind of curious to see what's going to happen. It almost feels like I'm the writer and I'm the listener, too.

I'm not great with breathing, like holding notes. I usually don't. A lot of people wouldn't believe it, but I don't focus on technical stuff.

The person I would trust the most is my mom. She's just really creative... She's a playwright and she's a musician.
