What people need to know is that if you don't eat what you want, then you'll just continue to eat, because you're not fulfilled.

The only way you can sustain a permanent change is to create a new way of thinking, acting, and being.

Long before "American Idol" people used to call me a diva. And I be like, "Hold on, are you calling me something else on the sly? You gonna call me a diva, call me a good diva."

I accept any challenge.

I'm really not sure what people think or expect me to be, but I am surprised when people say, 'You're not supposed to be like that ' I'm not exactly sure what 'that' is, so I choose to take it as a compliment.

Don't block your blessings. Don't let doubt stop you from getting where you want to be.

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.
