I think that a lot of teenagers think they got it all down-pat. Especially when they first move out and they're on their own for the first time. Oh this is easy, this is breezy. Then all of a sudden it hits you in your mid-twenties that maybe you don't know how to do your taxes still. There's all kinds of things and you start calling your parents up again.

I'm a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect.

Sometimes if you want to achieve something great, there will be curveballs. You just have to dodge them every once in a while.

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

Sometimes, you promise someone forever, but it doesn't work that way.

I wasn't allowed to listen to a lot of music growing up. It wasn't until I started to make my gospel record when I was around 14 or 15 that I started to be exposed to more outside influences.

I'm really critical of my posture, it makes a big difference. And I try to suck my belly in. Everyone should do that whether you're on a red carpet or not. Even if you're just going out to dinner with your boyfriend you should try and suck it in.
