NEW YORK! I [love] U! You're OFFICIALLY the coolest place on the planet!

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

You never know what's actually going on in a person's life. You don't know what happened to them before you met them...and that's why they are the way they are. But I do think about it whenever I get in contact with my fans. I know this may be the only time they'll ever meet me. I try to take advantage of that moment and be kind and grateful.

I was raised in a super-sheltered atmosphere where we didn't watch anything besides Trinity Broadcasting Network - which was called TBN - or the Fox News channel.

You have to spend a lot to make a lot. It's not like I'm sitting on top of a pile of money.

I came from a lot of intolerance and prejudice, which aren't necessarily healthy to evolve as a human.

You look at someone like Beyoncé singing Single Ladies, when we all know she's married. Some of it is just for entertainment.
