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 just have so much love for my record label.

I'm not defined by where I came from.

I think that maybe people comment on the internet because they never know if they're going to be able to meet that one person and they want to have a say so, or what have-you.

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.

Don't care what people gonna think of you, do what you wanna do and seek just your happiness.

I'm a woman who likes to be courted - strongly.
