I am so grateful for all the love and support I've had from people around the world.

Everyone related to me in my circle was from church: church friends, church school, church activities. All my friends weren't allowed to watch MTV or go to PG-13 movies or listen to the radio, so I didn't really know anything different. That's how I was raised.

There are a lot of things that are personally uncomfortable to show, especially me without makeup and completely bloated or crying. But I’ve realized that it’s time for me to show my audience that you don’t have to be perfect to achieve your dreams. Because nobody relates to being perfect.

I'm okay if everything is honest and truthful and relatable. If it's fabricated and ill-motived, it's not good.

I still have a spiritual base and a spiritual foundation. And my conversation with God is very open-ended. I pray for humility, honestly, because it's very easy to be caught up in this world.

Touring is always important to me. It's like a big IOU to my fans, because I know they are the reason I exist.

I hate working out, but I love jumping rope. Theres a rhythm. It's like dancing.
