My grill is intended to be discreet. It's there because I enjoy jewelry.

Balancing is hard. I've lost roles that I really wanted because I had set up a tour. I cancelled tours to do roles before. But I have to find the time to make that up to my audience. I made a commitment to them.

I'd love to work with Missy Elliott. I'd love to work with Bonnie Raitt. I'd love, love, love to work with Barbra Streisand. I'm reaching, because why not? You don't know what's going to happen in this life.

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.

I need to find creative diversity because if I get stuck, I get unhappy.

I think I've changed more as a person and, as I change as a person, there is new added creativity. I've seen more... I've met more people, done more things with dogs, and walked on more beaches since the beginning. The more I see, the more I wanna do; and the more I do, the more I wanna see.

A lot of the girls I grew up with were pregnant by the time they were 16. I just was lucky.
