Ever since grammar school, I knew I wanted to be famous - I always wanted to be a singer.
When you hear my music and you feel the emotion, it's real. When you see me in a film and you see a tear, it's real.
Dreams do come true. If anyone's proof of that, it's me.
The church has given me balance.
Anyone can lose a few pounds, but not everyone has the tools to stick with it.
I was brought up singing gospel, and I really enjoy getting the church up on their feet, their hips swaying, their hands clapping, it's a great feeling to evoke that energy for the Lord.
