A lot of the time people don't even know what they want until they see something new.

I'm really happy to be on the cover as a strong female who has created her own career.

I'm not ashamed, or embarrassed. I'm happy that I grew up listening to gospel music and came from where I came from. I feel like I have a history and a story. That's what I am and that's what I'll always be from. I was never running away from it.

I still want to be as approachable and relatable as possible - when I meet fans and they're crying, I'll say, 'Calm down, there's nothing to cry about.'

It can be the most difficult thing to do, but love conquers fear and love conquers hate and this love that you choose will give you strength and it's our greatest power.

I still believe in love, most definitely. I'm just going to let that take the lead.

I'm either going to go completely mental, completely bankrupt, or have the best success of my life.
