A woman is more than the sum of her parts. So I had an opportunity to present some work at the White House. I chose not just to talk about the sky, the planet, love or heartache. I wanted to actually be there, to place a mark on that moment.

I don't write on demand - I wait for inspiration to come.

I've been enjoying playing with fashion - gold grills and diamond grills have just become a part of that.

I think every individual has his or her own power, and it's a matter of working, taking time and defining what that power is.

You owe it to yourself to live beautifully. And I am.

I think all any artist or person wants to do is grow spiritually, emotionally, professionally and mentally.

One of the reasons my ex-husband and I broke up is that he stopped eating my food.
