The press is just not your friend when it comes to a marriage. That's why we didn't sell the pictures of our wedding, and we got offered millions of dollars for them, millions.

I missed out on the Spice Girls. I missed out on all those big pop phenomenon and missed out even on the Madonna records. It's okay, cuz I'm playing catch-up on everything now.

I’m not Buddhist, I’m not Hindu, I’m not Christian, but I still feel like I have a deep connection with God.

At my second record label, they told me and other female artists that some of us were going on the chopping block. I was 19... and it was devastating.

I think the world likes to pick apart different songs and play doctor with songs sometimes and make them into this big controversial thing.

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 fall in love every time. And I don't really fall in love a lot, but when I do, I fall hard.
