I love a good lyricist - always have. The thing that inspired me most was the different performers, like Tina Turner, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Madonna, even Janet Jackson.

Until you value yourself enough and love yourself enough to know that, you can't really have a healthy relationship.

Some people are naturally thin, and some are heavier. There is a lot of focus on it, and it can be a lot of pressure for people. But honestly, I think as long as someone is healthy, that is most important.

A lucky model who's been given a lot of opportunities I just wish she [Cameron Diaz] would have done more with.

All of a sudden one day I was like, I'm good at this! Oh, man! People are not giving me jobs because they feel sorry for me! I am an actress. I am a singer. I am a performer. That's what I do! Once I started giving myself a little credit, the whole world opened up.

I just think that the whole diva thing is a misrepresentation of who I am.

I just never really gave myself any credit. And because of that, nobody else did either. You mirror what the world mirrors to you.
