I've had to grow up with everyone watching me, which has been hard.

It would just be nice if everybody would be nice.

People say I'm the white Aretha Franklin. I wish I was her.

People grow. It's okay to grow. Some people find that difficult to grasp.

People started saying I was ignoring my country, making up stories about me. Ludicrous things, like that I throw tea on my assistants.

I really love art and I always have in every single different form and I just hope that I'm able to give some art that will touch some people and help them to be more positive and stronger.

It's ok to be sassy, but I'll never be trashy, it's ok to be nasty, but you got to keep it classy now
